This project is the fourth in the OpenClassrooms - Python Application Developer training program. The objective is to manage chess tournament competitions. The application allows for the creation and management of chess tournaments, including player registration, tournament creation, match management, and result tracking.

1. Clone this repository using the command:

   git clone https://github.com/samichelly/PROJECT_4__Chess-Tournament.git
   

2. Set up a virtual environment and activate it:
   • On macOS/Linux:

     python3 -m venv env
     source env/bin/activate

   • On Windows:

     python -m venv env
     .\env\Scripts\activate

3. Install the necessary packages for the application to function properly using the command:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Navigate to the MVC folder and run the program using the command:

   python main.py

Upon startup, the menu offers 4 actions:

This option allows you to display a report. There are two main types of reports:

1. View all players registered in the national player database.
2. View previously created tournaments and obtain the following details:
   • View the list of players participating in the tournament.
   • View the details of the rounds and matches of a tournament.

This option allows you to create a new player who will be registered in the national database without assigning them to a tournament. A uniqueness check is performed to avoid creating duplicate players.

This option allows you to create a new tournament. You can add players from the national database or add a non-existent player directly to the tournament. This player will also be registered in the national database without any user action.

This option allows you to reload an unfinished tournament in order to continue it. Simply indicate the index of the desired tournament to load.

Sections 3. Create a Tournament and 4. Load a Tournament allow you to start the tournament once all players are registered. Once the tournament starts, the user will be asked if they wish to start a new round and enter the match results. At the end of the round, an updated ranking sorted in descending order by score is displayed.
