I could not find a decent UNO game, so I decided to make my own ;)

Why is this better than any other UNO game?

• No ads
• No "pay to continue playing" system
• 100% free
• Open source
  • If you don't like something, you can change it
  • If you want something, you can add it
  • Written in Teal (Lua but better)
• Looks good
• No tracking
• No selling your data
• Single player mode
• Has controller support

• Running the Game
  • Requirements
  • Setup and Running
• Game Info
  • Levels
• Files & Structures
• VSCode Debugging
  • Requirements
  • Setup

• Lua (v5.4+)
• Love2D (v11.4)
• LuaRocks
• trash-cli (optional)
  • This is so we can safely delete any files and easily restore it if we need to

Ubuntu: sudo apt install lua5.4 love luarocks trash-cli Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S install lua love luarocks trash-cli

You can use Luarocks to install these modules - note that some of them are provided in the project source code.

Install: luarocks install tl --local

• lunajson

  • So we can read and write json. It is included in the project, but is only used for compiling the code into an executable, not running it.

• tl

  • To compile the code into regular Lua

1. Get the code on your PC (git clone or download)
2. Download all dependencies (Requirements & Modules)
3. Go into the folder with main.tl
4. ./run.sh (Linux/Mac) (note that if you don't have trash-cli installed, you will need to modify clean.sh to use rm instead)
5. Enjoy UNO

If you're on Windows, then running ./run.sh will not work (unless you use WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux). You then need to:

1. Generate Lua Code
   • So just tl gen all the .tl (not the .d.tl) files in the code so you get the Lua code
   • Then remove any standalone requires, aka require "something.something" (don't remove any local x = require.....) in all the .lua files
   • Remove any lines that contains local _tl_compat (usually the first line in some .lua files)
2. Run it!
   • love . or whatever the Windows version of this is

There are 3 levels to choose from, these are currently their limitations:

• Bot cannot chain +2 cards (cannot add a +2 to negate your +2)
• Bot cannot play a +2 directly after playing a +2
• Bot cannot play a +4
• Bot only has 50% chance to say uno before playing 2nd last card

• Only 70% chance that bot says uno before playing 2nd last card

No limitations

• assets - All game assets (images/audio etc.)
  • backgrounds - Game background images
    • saves - GIMP save files for images
  • buttons - Button images
    • icon - Button icons images
    • text - Button text images
  • cards - All card images
  • ui-sounds - Game BGM and SFX
• check.sh - Script to display tl checks
• clean.sh - Script to clean up the code after generating Lua files
• data - Any data the game should store, such as saves or configs
  • settings.json - User settings/config for the game
• gen.sh - Generate Lua files
• love.d.tl - Any .d.tl files are just typing, can be ignored for the most part
• main.tl - Any .tl files is the game code (just Lua with static typing)
• README.md - Game docs
• run.sh - Compile, run and clean up script in one
• src - Game source code (excluding main.tl)
  • game - Components in the game, such as cards and players
  • menu - Viewable game menus/screens/views
  • utils - util files, usually for components that are not visible, such as SFX
