Would you live in a world without pizzas or without cat memes? You vote. Other people vote. The majority decides.
PizzaVersusCats is a card game.
You have five cards in your hand; each one could represent anything.
Let’s say you start a game and you these five cards in your hand: rainbow, Ariana Grande, a mushroom, a cat, and Paolo Brosio.
Your opponent plays a card showing a pizza, and you decide to fight it using your cat card. The game will tell you which one is strongest, the pizza or the cat. Good luck!
- You can decide the number of players and how many cards to give to each player.
- At each round, everyone plays a card in sequential order, and the game tells you which one is the best.
- The cards used in the round go in the main deck.
- The player who played the best card does not pick a new one, while the other players must take a new random card from the main deck.
- The winner is the first one remaining without cards.
The community decides which cards are in the game by adding cards to the decks.
You can create as many decks as you want with as many cards as you want. For instance, you can create a deck with animals, a deck with celebrities, a deck with food, or a deck with completely random objects.
An algorithm gives a ranking to each card using players answers to “this or that questions”.
Indeed, before or after each match, a user must answer questions about couples of cards randomly chosen from the cards database.
For instance: Pizza or cat memes? Coke or Pepsi? Java or C++? Pippo Baudo or Paolo Brosio?
You vote, and PizzaVersusCats remembers all the votes and ranks all the cards!
The game is available for Android devices. You can download the PizzaVsCats.apk artifact from
GitHub and test it on your Android device.
There is also a command line version written in Python, available in the
python_command_line_project folder.
