An easy feature to add would be to support an arbitrary number of players and matches.

Who wins?

Who wins?

The person who picks up the last match (opposite of original rules)

Here (with AI bug)

No, actually the winner is determined by the original rules. Run it and see.

Code: Select all

$ ruby match_game.rb --players=0 --ai=3 --matches=10
10 matches remain. How many do you want to take, AI_1? 3
7 matches remain. How many do you want to take, AI_2? 3
4 matches remain. How many do you want to take, AI_3? 3
1 matches remain. How many do you want to take, AI_1? 1
AI_1 is the winner! Well done.

$ ruby match_game.rb --players=0 --ai=2 --matches=10
10 matches remain. How many do you want to take, AI_1? 1
9 matches remain. How many do you want to take, AI_2? 3
6 matches remain. How many do you want to take, AI_1? 3
3 matches remain. How many do you want to take, AI_2? 2
(text omitted: AI_1 picks up last match)
AI_2 is the winner! Well done.

[Lucifer]

Oops. I misunderstood. Yeah, you're right, for more than one player you want to go opposite the original rules.

Or you could do it by elimination. Each round eliminates one player until there is only one left, and he's the winner.

I have no chance against the AI.

AI_7 is the winner! Well done.

Applause! It works fine, and it's even good style. A minor glitch (minor because it does not lead to undesired behavior): it does not check anymore whether you took more matches than are there:

Code: Select all

...
It's blubb's turn.
There are 2 matches left.
How many matches do you want to take? 3
bla is the winner!

Because thats the same as hitting 0...

How did you add AI jonathon?
