This is a computer vision settlers of catan application that will be able to read gamestate and, in the future hopefully supply potential move options to each user.
- Break up code into Class and functions to improve readability and organize flow
- Associate tiles with resources (Gather range of colors valid for each tile)
- Get 'Pip' and number values from tiles
- identify settlements and roads
- calculate victory point scores for each player
- logic for handling player hands
- game assistant for move suggestion
- Identify longest road

To get everything you need for this project you will need to install some python libraries.
Here are the pip install commands necessary to get everything working:
pip install numpy
pip install matplotlib
pip install opencv-python
If you are unsure if you installed these libraries correctly just run python in your terminal/command window and type out the import statements.
It should look something like this:
$ python3
Python 3.6.3 (v3.6.3:2c5fed86e0, Oct 3 2017, 00:32:08)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
>>> import matplotlib
>>> import cv2
>>>
NOTE: importing opencv-python is done by using the import cv2
As long as there were no errors displayed when typing those import statement congrats, you have your environment setup correctly and can move forward with this project with ease.
There is a chance that even if you did everything correctly you will end up getting an error when trying to run the code in the repository. If not an error then your program might just sit there forever and never actually do anything. This is something inside of MatPlotLib and can be fixed.
You might get an error similar to this:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:273: UserWarning: Matplotlib is building the font cache using fc-list. This may take a moment.
warnings.warn('Matplotlib is building the font cache using fc-list. This may take a moment.')
If your error is similar to this, and the one that I got was exactly the same except for my python version, here is how to fix it.
You need to find ~/.matplotlib and ~/.cache to do that you can type
import matplotlib as mpl
print mpl.get_cachedir()
in any python environment you want and it will give you the location of the ~/.cache directory. Once you make it in there you want to delete the fontconfig directory. After that back out of the ~/.cache and move into the ~/.matplotlib and delete any contents that have font or cache anywhere in their names.
This should fix the problem and you should be able to continue with the project. If my instructions were unclear I used these two stackoverflow pages to solve this problem on my end: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34771191/matplotlib-taking-time-when-being-imported, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35734074/problems-with-matplotlib-is-building-the-font-cache-using-fc-list-this-may-tak
