Games of Cards II

Hi!

While I am having a little pause from the blog, I am still shaping sometime the code of Games of Cards. So, here it is with some other functions whose aim is to make the code more neat.

from random import shuffle

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

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

def listcol(cards=[]):
    'returns a list of col from a list of cards'
    cardscol = []
    for i in cards:
        cardscol += [i[-1]]
    return cardscol

    'makes list of cards to make points'

    return cpnt

    carichi = [str(x)+cc for x in [3,1] for cc in colors]
    return carichi

Now we see who wins:
[ 6♣ 1♣ ]     Pc2 wins with 1♣
