Engine

Main

Update Overview

In this update I added the logic for switching sides (innings) once three outs are reached. More importantly, the code is now split into two parts:

  • Engine – handles the core game logic.
  • Main (Execution) – handles the user interface.

I’m continuing to push forward and improve the project, so stay tuned for more updates. Thanks to everyone for the support!

How to Run

  1. Save the Engine and Main files as separate Python files.
  2. In the second line of the Main file, update the from [filename] import Baseball statement to match the Engine file’s name.
  3. Run the Main file to start playing.
