INSTRUCTIONS

First, you need the latest version of Python, Pygame and have a working IDE to run the game on.

1. Download ZIP
2. Change settings to your desire
3. Run game.py

Changing the settings:

Blocky is a game that you can play by yourself or with 2 players, or watch 2 computers play against each other. To decide what game to play, go to game.py and uncomment the line that corresponds to the type of the game you would like to play. Lines 139-142 will look like this:
# game = create_sample_game()
# game = create_auto_game()
# game = create_two_player_game()
# game = create_solitaire_game()

To change the settings of each game, go to the methods that are called above and change the parameters inside the initialized Game object. The first parameter max_depth determines how many layers of squares you can see in the game; you can choose max_depth to be between 2 and 5. Do not change the second parameter num_human and the third parameter num_random. The last parameter smart_players can be changed; an empty list indicates no smart computers and adding a positive int element to the list indicates adding a smart computer of that difficulty level. Note: it's better to not change the size of the lists of the last parameter, but change the value instead.

Terms to know:
Sample game: a game to be played by yourself against a random computer and a smart computer.

Auto game: a game with 2 random computers playing against each other.

Two player game: a game to be played with 2 players.

Solitaire game: a game to be played by yourself against a smart computer.
