Create a game score tracker

Here’s a simple game score tracker example in Python that can be adapted for various games. It tracks multiple players’ scores, allows adding points, subtracting points, and shows the current leaderboard.

class GameScoreTracker:
    def __init__(self, players):
        # Initialize the tracker with a list of player names and zero scores
        self.scores = {player: 0 for player in players}

    def add_points(self, player, points):
        if player in self.scores:
            self.scores[player] += points
        else:
            print(f"Player '{player}' not found.")

    def subtract_points(self, player, points):
        if player in self.scores:
            self.scores[player] -= points
        else:
            print(f"Player '{player}' not found.")

    def get_score(self, player):
        return self.scores.get(player, None)

    def leaderboard(self):
        # Returns players sorted by their scores descending
        return sorted(self.scores.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)

    def display_scores(self):
        print("Current Scores:")
        for player, score in self.leaderboard():
            print(f"{player}: {score}")

# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    players = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]
    tracker = GameScoreTracker(players)

    tracker.add_points("Alice", 10)
    tracker.add_points("Bob", 15)
    tracker.subtract_points("Charlie", 5)
    tracker.add_points("Alice", 5)

    tracker.display_scores()

This outputs:
