Memory game, good structure

[kempablavitt]

Hi.

I need some help with a memory game. How should I structure it before I begin to write it.
Is it good to have a class that defines a matrix for the play board and something like that?
Or should I use functions that defines lists and for-slings? Whats the easiest way? Im thinking about lists, and then functions to do all the commands from the user and everything else.

its going to look something like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6
A - - - - - -
B - - - - - -
C - - - - - -
D - - - - - -
E - - - - - -
F - - - - - -
==================
choice1: A5

1 2 3 4 5 6
A - - - - kul -
B - - - - - -
C - - - - - -
D - - - - - -
E - - - - - -
F - - - - - -
==================
choice2: B7 etc..

I would create a class object and initialize a dictionary. The rows (A,B,C,D...) would be the dictionary keys and the values would be lists. Provide overload methods __str__, __setitem__, and __getitem__ to print, set individual cells, and retrieve individual cells. You can add whatever methods from there to suit your game. Possible interaction:

>>> g = Game(6)
>>> g['C3']=10
>>> g['C3']
10
>>> g['C4']
'-'
>>> print g
           0     1     2     3     4     5
     A     -     -     -     -     -     -
     B     -     -     -     -     -     -
     C     -     -     -    10     -     -
     D     -     -     -     -     -     -
     E     -     -     -     -     -     -
     F     -     -     -     -     -     -
