Luupycards

Flip card game written in Python

I was inspired to make this thanks to "Nihongo Quest".

Why the name?

Luup: Part of my nickname Luuppi (which literally means "loop") and it kind of references to the gameplay where you can play the cards on a loop.

y: I added it since it's written in Python and sounds better than "Luupcards"

cards: This is a flip CARD game

Pronunciation:

Luupy like "loopy", the other part is self-explanatory

Installation V2 (Linux)

This is a graphical version of the application. You can find the instructions to the old tui version in v1/installation.md As far as I know this should also work on Windows, but it hasn't been tested.

1. Install Python if you haven't (duh)
2. Download this repository with

git clone https://github.com/LuuppiChan/luupycards.git

3. Go to the folder

cd luupycards

4. Install dependencies with pip

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Use the installation script to get the desktop shortcut

chmod a+x install.sh
./install.sh

6. Open the app from your application menu.

Installation Windows

Yes, it's finally supported on the most popular operating system. (As of v2.1)

1. Download the latest executable from Latest Releases
2. You're all set! Just double-click it to open it.

Making pair files

The documentation on everything about the game is in the game.

From the top bar, go to Help -> Help! to see the documentation.

But in short this is an example pair file:

What is the capital of Japan?
Tokyo
What is the tallest mountain in the world?
Mount Everest,Everest
What is 5 + 3?
8
What is the currency of the United States?
Dollar,US Dollar,USD

As you can see, it follows a format where uneven lines are questions and even lines are answers.

Settings

There are minimal checks for if a setting value is valid! Invalid values may break the game!
