Wargames WOPR

Wargames WOPR Computer Simulation

WOPR is a War Operation Plan Response super computer.
Anyone familiar with the 1983 WarGames Movie knows this.

In the movie:
While attempting to hack into a computer game company.
David Lightman unknowingly hacks into a system which doesn't identify itself.
Assuming its the game company, he starts a game of Global Thermonuclear War.
It soon becomes obvious he has actually hacked into a military super-computer.
It also becomes obvious the WOPR has no intentions to stop playing
until the game has been won.

This is an interactive program which allows you to communicate with WOPR (aka Joshua).

To use:

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Navigate to correct directory
  3. Run program using:
    python3 joshua.py
    or
    ./joshua.py

password = joshua or Joshua


Conversation with Joshua is split into 3 parts.
After Greeting, ask the questions below (in order)
and the WOPR computer (aka Joshua) will respond.
