Python-Dice-Roll-Game

20x2 Board Game - A Python text-based board game where players race against the computer on a 20×2 board, avoiding black holes and strategically advancing to reach position 20 first. Features game state tracking, timestamped records, and an interactive console interface. A text-based board game written in Python where a player competes against the computer on a 20x2 game board.

Game Description

The 20x2 board game is played between a human player and a computer on a game board consisting of 20 blocks in 2 rows. Players roll a dice to determine movement, where the number of steps is half the dice value (floor division). Players must roll a 6 to enter the board initially.

The board contains two black holes at positions 7 and 14, represented by 'O'. If a player lands on a black hole, they return to block 1. Players are represented by 'X' on the board.

The first player to reach or pass the 20th block wins the game.

Features

• Text-based interface with clear board visualization
• Random dice rolls using Python's random module
• Automatic game record saving to a timestamped text file
• Option to play again after game completion
• Black hole obstacles that add strategic elements

Files

• Main Program.py - The entry point of the game
• dice_roll.py - Contains the main game logic and board rendering
• text_file.py - Handles game record saving to text files

How to Play

1. Run the Main Program.py file:

   python "Main Program.py"
   

2. The initial game board will be displayed.

3. Press Enter to roll the dice.

4. The first roll must be a 6 to enter the board.

5. Movement is calculated as dice roll ÷ 2 (floor division).

   • Example: Rolling a 6 moves you 3 blocks
   • Rolling a 1 results in no movement

6. Avoid black holes at positions 7 and 14.

7. First player to reach or pass position 20 wins.

8. Game results are saved to a text file named with the current timestamp.

9. After the game ends, you can choose to play again.

Game Rules Summary

• Players take turns rolling the dice
• Must roll a 6 to start
• Movement = dice roll ÷ 2 (floor division)
• Land on a black hole (positions 7 & 14) → return to position 1

Game Record

After each game, a record is saved in a text file with the format YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM.txt containing:

• Total moves for each player
• Number of black hole hits
• Game result (win/loss)
