Regnancy - 0.74

Just out of curiosity, has this been ported to 3.1?

I got this running on OS X 10.6.4 with python 2.7 and pygame 1.9.1 but it took a bit of source hacking to get it to run. The server problem below sounds like the result of putting in the wrong IP address when starting the game (it should be your local ip). Also you'll need to change the ip in client/aiclient/aiclient.py to your local ip since it's hardcoded to the default. I got the unicode key error any time I tried to change my name, it clears if you leave the name alone.

Once it's up and running it's great, I've played a few dozen games, it crashes sometimes and I've gotten negative buys a few times but stable enough to finish many games.

I got bored with the cards available in the .43 release and implemented a bunch more cards (starting with the Colony and Platinum from Prosperity). Any interest in my changes?

Maybe the server could not be started. Look at the output or try to start the server via commandline like:
python start_server.py 9989

Ok. I get it to come up, but nothing happens when I click the start game and join game buttons.

Got it to come up briefly. Thanks.

Pygame 1.9.1 supposedly supports Python 3. I downloaded it a few days ago.

You need Python 2.6, as there isn't even a pygame version for Python3 (iirc). So, install Python 2.6, then install pygame for Python 2.6 (for windows it's http://pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.6.msi), then start "start_client.py"

How does one start this game? I am getting various errors trying to run this. Running "game.py" gets me this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\regnancy\game.py", line 19, in <module>

from .cards.base import *
File "E:\regnancy\cards\base\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
from bureaucrat import Bureaucrat
ImportError: No module named bureaucrat

Running start_client gets me this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

from client.pygameclient.pygameclient import PygameClient
File "E:\regnancy\client\pygameclient\pygameclient.py", line 31

I am running Python 3.1.2

I uploaded a video of regnancy in action, you can see it here:

I am currently working on an AI opponent. There are already two basic implementations in the source code. One that always goes for pure big money and the others goes for big money + double smithy :)
You could also let them play against each other. But at the moment they are nothing more than dirty hacks I use to find some bugs in the game-logic and network-code.

I've once written a console-based Dominion, I see yours is a bit more polished. ;)

Have you considered plugging in an AI opponent for single player?

I switched from SVN to Mercurial some days ago. The link is
http://regnancy.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/regnancy/regnancy
I'm not going to upload a tarball soon because of would take years to upload (I have a slow internet-connection). But I will do if there's a "stable"-release. Sourceforge offers a source tarball download for SVN, but i haven't seen this option for Mercurial. Note that there are not the images with the original artwork in the repository, but i could give you a shell script that will download the images from http://dominion.diehrstraits.com/ and convert them via a gimp-plugin I wrote.
On the Project-Page on sourceforge ypu can see which cards are implemented so far. Currently i am writing a simple AI-bot and fixing some network-related code.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any files available on your Sourceforge page. I'm eager to try this project out! The name's a little awkward though.

Did I saw you on BGG? Nice work. Count on me for testing - I love Dominion and know pygame a little. Could you provide a tarball on sourceforge? If not, just give a link for Merc.
