How can I implement a leaderboard feature in Cricket Clash?
To add a leaderboard to Cricket Clash, you can modify the models.py
file to include a new table for storing user scores, and update the routes.py
file to include a new route for displaying the leaderboard. Here's an example:
In models.py
, add:
```python class Leaderboard(db.Model): id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'), nullable=False) score = db.Column(db.Integer, nullable=False) timestamp = db.Column(db.DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow)
user = db.relationship('User', backref=db.backref('leaderboard_entries', lazy=True))
```
In routes.py
, add:
python
@routes.route("/leaderboard")
def leaderboard_route():
top_scores = db.session.query(User, func.max(Leaderboard.score).label('max_score')).\
join(Leaderboard).\
group_by(User.id).\
order_by(desc('max_score')).\
limit(10).all()
return render_template("leaderboard.html", top_scores=top_scores)
This implementation allows Cricket Clash to display a leaderboard of the top 10 players based on their highest scores.
How can I implement a simple AI opponent in Cricket Clash?
To add a simple AI opponent in Cricket Clash, you can modify the play_ball
function in routes.py
. Here's an example of how you could implement this:
```python import random
def ai_play(): return random.choice(['defensive', 'normal', 'aggressive'])
@routes.route("/api/game/
player_action = request.json.get('action')
ai_action = ai_play()
# Compare player_action and ai_action to determine the outcome
if player_action == ai_action:
outcome = "It's a dot ball!"
elif (player_action == 'aggressive' and ai_action == 'defensive') or \
(player_action == 'normal' and ai_action == 'aggressive') or \
(player_action == 'defensive' and ai_action == 'normal'):
outcome = "You scored runs!"
current_state['score'] += random.randint(1, 6)
else:
outcome = "You're out!"
current_state['wickets'] += 1
current_state['last_ball'] = outcome
# ... rest of the existing code ...
```
This implementation adds a simple AI opponent that randomly chooses its action, and then compares it with the player's action to determine the outcome. This enhances Cricket Clash by providing a more interactive and challenging gameplay experience.
