Revision 2. </p> <p>Random maze generator using depth-first search.</p> <p>It starts the maze path from a random cell and there is no exit defined but actually any 2 cells on the path (white cells) can be assigned to be entry and exit locations. (I could just add code to randomly select 2 white cells and change their colors to something else but I thought it looks better this way.)</p>

Simple program for beginner to learn very simple formula as a start to an algorithm for AI. And conditional choice. The program is not perfect, as it will not force a victory when the computer guessed right, neither it can control if you cheated or not. But this is not the goal here. </p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577976 by <a href="/recipes/users/4174931/">Filippo Squillace</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/animation/">animation</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/game/">game</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/life/">life</a>). </p> <p>This program is an extensible Conway's game of life. It allows to define different type of grid (for example 2D or 3D) and more complex rules. Each grid inherits an Abstract grid that implement the method (next()) to pass for the next configuration. Furthermore, each element can be whatever type. In this example I designed Grid2DBool that represent the simple Conway's game of life, but could be possible to develop and easily implement more complex grids and rules.</p> <p>Note: The demo save also the animation in a file .mp4 and plot it through pyplot. The demo could take long time because of storing all the configurations before showing the animation. Therefore, the visualization can be improved using other libraries (as wxpython) that paint the configuration of the grid once it's created. With a more complex view it's convenient to apply MVC pattern declaring the model AbstractGrid as the Observable class.</p>

The caveat is "statistically better", which means any single trial can have unsupporting results. But "statistically better" is exactly where the fist-fights at bars and family reunions start, so no matter the single trial outcomes.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>A friend was wondering how to implement MineSweep and decided to try making the game in Excel. Unfortunately, the game was not quite as interactive as he wanted; and he is unable to get around certain limitations at the moment since he is still new to programming. To show off the power of Python and demonstrate how easy it can be to develop a simple demonstration program in the language, the following program (and its iterations) were put together between the hours of 1 and 6 in the morning. It could certainly be much better in its implementation, but any serious work were to be put into MineSweep, starting over from scratch would be the best choice (especially with interface design).</p>

Revision 3. </p> <p>Popular Snake game with Python-Pygame module. <strong>Important:</strong> If you try to run this script without special <strong>png-wav</strong> files it will fail, you have to put following files to a directory with this script. "apple.png","snakehead.png","intro.wav","dead.wav". They are basically apple picture, head of snake, intro sound and dead sound.Without them script will not run. Just make inactive the statements intro.wav and dead.wav, and find a little apple picture and snake head :).Or you can play the game just install it. <strong>Here is the installer:</strong> <a href="http://dosya.co/7c6f15c0f4d04514/Flafel-1.26-win32.rar" rel="nofollow">http://dosya.co/7c6f15c0f4d04514/Flafel-1.26-win32.rar</a> It will install the game in program files, you can find it in search "Flafel" and click to Flafel.exe. </p>
