Games

Four desktop games written in Python. Each one runs from source and ships with a PyInstaller spec for building a single Windows .exe. Every game keeps its progress under %APPDATA% so saves survive moving the executable.

What's in this repository

Folder	Game	Engine
Python Sputnika Game/	Orbital Orchard — a Suika-style merge puzzle. Drop celestial bodies into a bubble, bounce and merge them up to a Quasar Crown.	pygame
Python Solitaire Game/	Klondike Solitaire — the classic single-player card game with hints, auto-solve, undo, and a confetti win celebration.	tkinter
Python Monopoly Game/	Monopoly — full standard rules, 1-4 humans + AI to fill out four players, thirteen themed boards, auctions, trading, and autosave + resume.	pygame
Python Ludo Game/	Ludo — classic competitive Ludo for 4-6 total players, 1-6 humans, heuristic AI, and square/pentagonal/hexagonal boards.	pygame

Run from source

Each game has its own requirements.txt (Monopoly, Orbital Orchard and Ludo use pygame-ce; Solitaire uses only the standard library). Install the deps once and start playing:

cd "Python Ludo Game"              # or another game's folder
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py                     # python solitaire.py for the Solitaire game

Python 3.11 or newer is recommended for all four.

Build a standalone .exe

Every game ships with a PyInstaller spec, so packaging is a one-liner from inside the game's folder:

pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller "<Game Name>.spec"

The finished .exe appears under dist\. The relevant spec files are:

• Python Sputnika Game/Orbital Orchard Game.spec
• Python Solitaire Game/Solitaire Game.spec
• Python Monopoly Game/Monopoly Game.spec
• Python Ludo Game/Ludo Game.spec

See each game's README for the exact filename and per-game notes.

Save data

Every game stores progress in its own per-user folder so nothing is lost when the .exe is moved or rebuilt:

• %APPDATA%\Orbital Orchard\save_data.json — high score, games played, best tier.
• %APPDATA%\Klondike Solitaire\solitaire_high_score.json — high score, lifetime wins / losses.
• %APPDATA%\Monopoly\stats.json — lifetime games / wins.
• %APPDATA%\Monopoly\savegame.json — one in-progress saved Monopoly game.
• %APPDATA%\Ludo\stats.json — lifetime games, wins, player-count mix, average turns.
• %APPDATA%\Ludo\savegame.json — one in-progress saved Ludo game.

Generated .exe files, save-data JSON, build/, dist/ and __pycache__/ directories are kept out of the repository by .gitignore — only the source ships here.

Notes

All visuals are drawn procedurally (no external image files required). Comments throughout the code are deliberately beginner-friendly: docstrings on every method, inline explanations on non-obvious logic, and tuning knobs grouped together at the top of each settings.py-style file.

The games were written collaboratively with Claude Code (Anthropic) and Codex (OpenAI); the original Codex output supplied the playable base, and later passes added per-user save persistence, crash-safe atomic writes, gameplay and graphics improvements, Monopoly, Ludo, and the EXE-build workflow.
