Python Systems Projects

This repository contains a collection of Python systems developed as part of my coursework for INFO1110 (Introduction to Programming) at the University of Sydney. The project focuses on object‑oriented design, recursion, decorators, and system‑level thinking.

Key Features

Gravity-Based Connect Four

A custom implementation of Connect Four with extended mechanics and system architecture.

Object-Oriented Architecture

• Game, Board, Player, and Piece classes
• Inheritance for special pieces (BombPiece, TeleportPiece)

Decorator Pattern

• @gravity_decorator dynamically applies gravity effects after piece insertion

Special Pieces

• BombPiece: Clears a 3×3 area on impact
• TeleportPiece: Swaps position with the mirrored board location

Win Detection System

• Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal checks supporting multiple players

State Management

• Piece inventories
• Turn switching
• Draw detection

Recursive Story & Shape Generator

This module includes:

• Recursive dungeon storytelling system
• Grammar-based random sentence generator
• Recursive ASCII shape rendering (stairs, squares, diamonds)
• String reversal using recursion

Fitness Tracking System

A file‑based fitness tracking system featuring:

• User login & data persistence
• Distance and duration analytics
• Monthly and all-time statistics
• Goal‑based health planning (marathon, ironman, speed goals)
• Unit conversion (miles ↔ kilometers)

Methods

• Object‑Oriented programming (OOP)
• Inheritance
• Python decorators
• Recursion
• File I/O
• Input validation
• Game state management
