Azul game engine

A game engine for Azul board game.

Original game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azul_(board_game).

Functionality

As a client of this game engine the only class you need to use is game.py.

Initializing game.py

lid = Lid()
player1 = Player(Board(wall=Wall(), floor=Floor(lid)), f"Player Name 1")
player2 = Player(Board(wall=Wall(), floor=Floor(lid)), f"Player Name 2")
game = Game([player1, player2])

Using game.py

game.py class has 3 main methods for clients to use:

• json_object
• execute_factory_offer_phase_with_factory
• execute_factory_offer_phase_with_center

json_object()

Returns a dictionary representation of the current game state, suitable for JSON serialization.

Returns:

• dict: A dictionary containing:
  • isRunning: Boolean indicating if the game is still active
  • Factory displays: List of factory display states
  • Center: Current center tile state
  • Players: List of all player states (including pattern lines, wall, floor)
  • Bag: Current bag tile counts
  • Lid: Current lid tile counts
  • Winners: List of winner names (only present when game has ended)

Example:

state = game.json_object()

execute_factory_offer_phase_with_factory(factory_index, tile_to_take, amount_to_place_on_floor, pattern_line_index)

Executes the current player's turn by taking tiles from a specified factory display.

Parameters:

• factory_index (int): Index of the factory display to take tiles from. Starting index 0. Ending index: 4 on two player game, 6 on 3 player game, 8 on 4 player game.
• tile_to_take (Tile): The specific tile color to take from the factory
• amount_to_place_on_floor (int): Number of tiles to place on the floor
• pattern_line_index (int): Index of the pattern line to place tiles on (0-4)

Behavior:

• Takes all tiles of the specified color from the chosen factory display
• Places remaining tiles from that factory into the center
• Places tiles on the specified pattern line (and floor on some cases)
• Advances to the next player's turn
• Triggers wall tiling phase if all factories and center are empty

Raises:

• ActionNotAllowedException: If the game has already ended or move is illegal (e.g. user wants to take a Blue tile from a factory but the factory does not have blue tiles).

Example:

# Player takes red tiles from factory 0, places 2 on floor, rest on pattern line 1
game.execute_factory_offer_phase_with_factory(0, Tile.RED, 2, 1)

execute_factory_offer_phase_with_center(tile_to_take, amount_to_place_on_floor, pattern_line_index)

Executes a player's turn by taking tiles from the center area.

Parameters:

• tile_to_take (Tile): The specific tile color to take from the center
• amount_to_place_on_floor (int): Number of tiles to place on the floor
• pattern_line_index (int): Index of the pattern line to place tiles on (0-4)

Behavior:

• Takes all tiles of the specified color from the center
• First player to take from center receives the starting player marker (-1 point penalty)
• Places tiles on the specified pattern line (and floor on some cases)
• Advances to the next player's turn
• Triggers wall tiling phase if all factories and center are empty

Raises:

• ActionNotAllowedException: If the game has already ended or move is illegal (e.g. user wants to take a Blue tile from the center but there is no blue tile in it).

Example:

# Player takes blue tiles from center, places 1 on floor, rest on pattern line 0
game.execute_factory_offer_phase_with_center(Tile.BLUE, 1, 0)
