RacquetballGame

A simple text-based racquetball game simulator written in Racket.

About

This project simulates a racquetball game between two players. The game follows basic racquetball rules:

• First player to reach 15 points wins
• Must win by at least 2 points
• Only the serving player can score points
• When a non-serving player wins a rally, they become the server

Requirements

• Racket programming language (version 8.0 or higher recommended)

Installation

1. Install Racket from https://racket-lang.org/
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ewdlop/RacquetballGame.git
   cd RacquetballGame

Usage

Run the game using the Racket interpreter:

racket racquetball.rkt

The game will automatically simulate rallies and display the results until one player wins.

Game Features

• Automatic rally simulation with realistic probabilities
• Score tracking for both players
• Server tracking (indicated by [SERVING] marker)
• Win condition checking (15 points with 2-point margin)
• Rally-by-rally commentary
