rpg_player

A one-player RPG player and simulator.

This was quickly thrown together 2022/09/25 and I probably will go through and clean it up a bit at some point.

background

I was inspired to do so after seeing the following one page RPG: https://twitter.com/Sotherans/status/1513210507506954250

contents

I've included a json with the scores from that game (excepting the special 5-5-5 rule which I was too lazy to add), a game about finishing a novel, and a blank template.

how to run

There are two modes. (1) Simulation mode:

python rpg_simulator.py 1 10000 FinishNovel_game.json

(2) Game play mode, where you can enter the size of pause (in seconds) that you want:

python rpg_simulator.py 0 2 FinishNovel_game.json

sample output (excerpted)
