Thank you for the comment! I went ahead and made a video briefly talking about it, I also made a playlist and it's now the first video in there. Let me know if you want me to go more into detail on the environment!
Can you make a video of your environment? How does it work with "python3 main.py 2 -t"? And all the other features: day selection, switch between test and real, output with the required time and so on ...
Hey! Thanks for the comment, I went ahead and recorded a small video talking about this stuff, along with a link to the code in the repo in case you want it for yourself. I made a playlist, it's the first video there. let me know if you want any other information about it!
My approach was to just chunk through each line, splitting each section and then appending to a game list, a color list and a count list. Then I zipped the three lists together and made them into a DataFrame. From there the rest was easy. This way if there were extra colors it would still work and I didn't have to care the order of the colors. Also if the same color was pulled twice or a color was missing it wouldn't matter and I didn't have to initiate the counts with zeros. Having the data unpivoted made it easier to summarize as well.
If I'm going to be honest data frames scare me lol 😅 but that definitely does sound like a clean solution. My justification for not doing something like that is I want to avoid external libraries as much as possible, and also I think this is much faster because of the overhead that comes with pandas

Very nice video! Hope you keep them going! I agree i would also like a overview of your envoriment
