This interactive minigame in python is based on the recently viral game "Buckshot Roulette". More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckshot_Roulette

It is highly recommended that the game is played in an independent terminal (not in a code editor like vscode). The game includes ascii art 'images' to enhance gameplay. IMAGES ARE NOT GRAPHIC.

The game has a friendly helpful menu to guide the user throughout. The game instructions can be accessed 'in-game' but for convenience, here they are:

This game is based on the actual game 'buckshot roulette'. In a nutshell, this is russian roulette. Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckshot_Roulette

INSTRUCTIONS: - OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE. - A shotgun is loaded with a disclosed number of bullets, some of which will be blanks. - Participants are given a set amount of lives (default = 4) to survive. - You and 'The Dealer' will take turns shooting. - Aim at The Dealer or at yourself - shooting yourself with a blank skips the Dealers turn. - Participants are given items to help out. Use them wisely. - if you have chosen wrongly, type 'q'/'quit'/'back' to go back.

ITEMS: • 🚬 = Gives the user an extra life. • 🍺 = Racks the shotgun and the bullet inside will be discarded. • 🔪 = Shotgun will deal double damage for one turn. • 🔍 = User will see what bullet is in the chamber. • ⛓ = Handcuffs the other person so they miss their next turn.

Good Luck.
