This game requires the Lymp external library, which allows python functions and objects to be used with OCaml. More information about Lymp can be found at the following link:
https://github.com/dbousque/lymp
To use Lymp, you must have OCaml as well as Python 2 or 3 installed on your machine. Run the following command on your terminal to install Lymp:
opam update && opam install lymp
From the Lymp readme:
"Python's pymongo package is required (for it's bson subpackage), opam and the Makefile. Try to install it using pip and pip3, so you should not have to install it manually. If
$ python3 -c "import pymongo"fails, you need to install pymongo, maybe using sudo on pip or pip3."
Once Lymp is installed, run the following command from the directory containing the source files for the game (and probably this document):
make play
Once the game initializes, you will be prompted by the terminal to input how many total players you would like to be in the game, how many of those players you would like to be controlled by an AI, and how aggressive you would like those AI's to be.
Lymp compiles best on the newest MacOS. It doesn't cooperate with Windows or the VM. It may be worth noting that this game has only been proven to run on Mac.
