## Round 1 - Coding / OOD ## Problem Design a survival card game where players are eliminated when their health reaches zero. Each turn a player draws a card that either deals damage to another player or heals themselves. Implement the game engine. ```python class Action: # ATTACK or HEAL action_type: str value: int class Card: def __init__(self, action: Action): ... class Player: def __init__(self, name: str, health: int = 100): ... def is_alive(self) -> bool: ... def apply_action(self, action: Action, target: 'Player' = None) -> None: ... class SurvivalGame: def __init__(self, players: list[Player]): ... def play_turn(self) -> None: ... def get_survivors(self) -> list[Player]: ... def is_over(self) -> bool: ... ``` ``` Example: p1, p2, p3 = Player("A"), Player("B"), Player("C") game = SurvivalGame([p1, p2, p3]) while not game.is_over(): game.play_turn() game.get_survivors() -> [Player("A")] # last standing ``` ## Follow-ups 1. How do you pick the target for an attack card - random, lowest health, or caller's choice? 2. How would you add special card types (e.g. shield, multi-hit)? 3. How would you log the game history for replay? 4. How does your design change to support teams?
