Playing with cards ch. I

Card game theory

Ok, let's get back to our unfinished card game. We had this pack of cards created with a list comprehension method, right? PS: we're using Jupyter for this... in case you're asking...

In [3]:



cards = [str(num)+color for num in range(1,11) for color in ['♥','♦','♣','♠']]
x = 0
for c in cards:
    print(c,end=' ')
    x +=1
    if x==10:
        x = 0
        print()











1♥ 1♦ 1♣ 1♠ 2♥ 2♦ 2♣ 2♠ 3♥ 3♦ 
3♣ 3♠ 4♥ 4♦ 4♣ 4♠ 5♥ 5♦ 5♣ 5♠ 
6♥ 6♦ 6♣ 6♠ 7♥ 7♦ 7♣ 7♠ 8♥ 8♦ 
8♣ 8♠ 9♥ 9♦ 9♣ 9♠ 10♥ 10♦ 10♣ 10♠ 

Now wi shuffle the cards... and pop() three of them





In [6]:



from random import shuffle
shuffle(cards)

def pop(cardnum):
    'pc1 = pop(3) # it gives a list of 3 cards as result'
    cardlist = []
    for i in range(cardnum):
        cardlist += [cards.pop()]
    return cardlist
pc1 = []
pc1 = pop(3)
print(pc1)











['9♠', '1♥', '8♣']


In the next post we will take a look at the AI of pc1
