The purpose of this application is that whenever a new terminal session is created (which is fairly often for me), it will start a question (or series of) that must be passed in order to continue.

One of the following might be randomly chosen:

• What day of the week would x fall on
• What is the answer to x * y
• What is the answer to x / y
• What year was x born
• Who is the author of x

This is intended to be run in your .bashrc (or .zshrc, .profile etc.) and so will start when a session is created.

This might go something like:

git clone git@github.com:Ganners/mental-gymnastics.git

cd mental-gymnastics

echo "# Start mental gymnastics game when session starts\npython ${PWD}/main.py -r 2" >> $HOME/.zshrc

A game should look like this:

class ExampleGame:
    """Returns a question string and a validator function

    The validator function returns a bool
    """
    def play_game(self):
        # Randomly pick something to ask
        random_question = "this is some random question"
        random_answer = 5

        def validate(string_input):
            return int(string_input) == random_answer

        return (random_question, validate)

    @property
    def name(self):
        """Returns the name of the game to be used in strings"""
        return "This is the name of the game"

The class will have a play_game function which will return a string (the question) and a function to validate an answer that must return a bool.
