Octpus Carnival is an environment for playing the Machiavelli card game inside the terminal. It features a solver in order to play against the computer.
The Machiavelli solver is written in Ocaml:
opam install corebuild dune yojson core
The TUI is written in python:
pip3 install --user colorama picotui
In order to play the game first build the solver:
cd octopus_carnival
make
Then run the executable
./ono_sendai/start

Thanks to my friend Daniele that helped me to write the algorithm for the solver.
