Cards 8 -

Another refresh to the cards code:

from random import shuffle

def val(card):
    'gives the value of the card as return value'
    valore = pcval[int(card[:-1])]
    return valore

def start():
    'Create cards, shuffle them, pick pc1 (3 cards) and briscola, then choose the card to play'
    global cards,pc1,briscola,cardschoice,cartascelta,pcval
    cards = [str(num)+color for num in range(1,11) for color in ['♥','♦','♣','♠']]
    pcval = {1:11,2:0,3:10,4:0,5:0,6:0,7:0,8:2,9:3,10:4}
    shuffle(cards)
    briscola = cards.pop()
    pc1 = [cards.pop() for x in range(3)]
    cardschoice = []
    for c in pc1:
        card_color = c[-1]
        briscola_color = briscola[-1]
        match = card_color == briscola_color
        if not match:
            cardschoice += [c]     
    pc1v = []
    for i in cardschoice:
        pc1v += [val(i)]                      
    pcmin = min(pc1v)
    cartascelta = cardschoice[pc1v.index(pcmin)]

def main():
    start()                 # cards,pc1,briscola

    print("PC1 has:", pc1,"\nbrisc:(",briscola,")")
    print("No brisc", cardschoice,"\npc1 throws=>", cartascelta)

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

PC1 has: ['4♦', '4♣', '5♦'] 
brisc:( 7♠ )
No brisc ['4♦', '4♣', '5♦'] 
pc1 throws=> 4♦
