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>

Some rules have been modified. User interface is text based, non-curses, using only simple python commands to draw it. </p>

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>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Guess a number was part 1 was Human trying to guess a random number between 1 and 100 in 10 tries. This time the computer is trying to guess. 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>

The way we played took absolutely no thought whatsoever and turned out to be very easy to automate. The game below is configured for four different players to complete the simple game until it ends. Each player's hand in printed, and the cards played in each round is shown till someone finishes. Whoever wins is shown at the end of the simulation, and the program quickly exits when complete.</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>
