WAR CARD GAME - Python Project

Created by: Aishik Mukherjee

Description:

This is a console-based simulation of the classic War card game using Python. Two CPU players compete using a standard 52-card deck. The game continues until one player runs out of cards or the round limit (10,000) is reached.

Files:

1. cards_and_deck.py

   • Contains the Cards and Deck classes.
   • Handles creation and shuffling of the deck.

2. cpu_players.py

   • Defines the Player class.
   • Creates two CPU player instances (cpu_1 and cpu_2) and distributes cards.

3. main.py (or the file where game logic runs)

   • Contains the main game loop.
   • Compares cards, manages war scenarios, and declares the winner.

How to Run:

1. Make sure all three .py files are in the same directory.
2. Run the main game logic file (not the modules). Example: python main.py

Rules Summary:

• Each CPU player draws the top card.
• The player with the higher card value wins both cards.
• If there's a tie, a "war" begins:
  • Each player places 3 cards face down and 1 card face up.
  • The face-up cards are compared.
  • Winner takes all cards involved.
• Game ends when:
  • A player runs out of cards.
  • 10,000 rounds have been completed (winner is player with more cards).

Notes:

• Suits do not affect gameplay.
• Card values: 2 (lowest) to Ace (highest).
• Debugging outputs are printed for card distribution and war rounds.

Enjoy the game!
