wtf is victor-games?

Victor Games is a collection of small games written in Python for the Anki Vector, a tiny home robot, run through its official Python software development kit. Since Anki's original cloud servers for Vector have shut down, these games are designed to work with WirePod, a community built replacement server that lets Vector robots keep working without needing a jailbreak, using either the robot's original factory software or a compatible modified version. Because the standard Vector SDK on Python's package index still expects Anki's old cloud service, this project requires installing a community maintained fork of that SDK built specifically for WirePod. The README spends real effort explaining a subtle bug in how Vector plays animations: passing a name as a plain piece of text can force the SDK to fetch its entire list of animations first, which can time out and silently fail to play anything on slower hardware like a Raspberry Pi. The fix used throughout this project is to look up or build the animation reference directly instead of passing plain text. The games themselves are simple and playful. One has Vector chase a cube you pull away at the last second, learning to react faster after losses and slower after wins, with its skill level saved between sessions. Another lets you shake or tap a cube to feed Vector virtual food, with different physical reactions depending on how it is fed. A third variant lets Vector react to a toy being fed instead of eating himself, without driving around the room. Every game connects straight to the robot over the SDK, needs a Vector cube for most of them, and includes a test mode that checks the game logic without needing a robot connected at all.
