there

see it now

so I am making pitch

and I want to determine the winner of the trick

and it is comparing cards to what players played

but its not working

@lyric prawn

[lyric prawn]

you gotta explain what's the game

[kind helm]

you know Pitch?

[lyric prawn]

nope

[kind helm]

damn

[lyric prawn]

and if I know it

it's under a different name

[kind helm]

want me too send the full code

to make it understand better

[lyric prawn]

just tell me what you're trying to achieve with that code

[kind helm]

basically after each player there is 4, I am comparing each card, and whoever has the highest card wins, and deals the next round

but its not comparing cards right

[lyric prawn]

can you print played cards

[kind helm]

yeah

it does in my code, I have a print card function

def card_value(card):
    values = {'A': 14, 'K': 13, 'Q': 12, 'J': 11, '10': 10, '9': 9, '8': 8, '7': 7, '6': 6, '5': 5, '4': 4, '3': 3, '2': 2,}
    rank = card[:-1]
    if rank.isdigit():  
        rank = int(rank)  
    return values.get(rank)

here is the card value function

[lyric prawn]

i need to know how played_cards is

[kind helm]

k one sec

def play_round(players, hands, current_player_index, chosen_suit, highest_bidder):
    while any(hands):
        played_cards = []
        for i in range(len(players)):
            current_player = players[current_player_index]
            if hands[current_player_index]:
                print(f"\n{current_player}'s turn:")
                print_hand(hands[current_player_index])
                played_card_index = int(input(f'Which card do you want to play {highest_bidder}? (Enter the number 1-6): ')) - 1
                played_card = hands[current_player_index].pop(played_card_index)
                print(f"{current_player} played {simplificator(*played_card)[0]}")
                played_cards.append(played_card)
            current_player_index = (current_player_index + 1) % len(players)

        winning_player_index = determine_trick_winner(played_cards, chosen_suit)
        print(f"\n{players[winning_player_index]} wins the trick!")

its a list

[lyric prawn]

but

is it a list of ints

[kind helm]

yeah what about it

[lyric prawn]

I needed to know that

[kind helm]

sorry

[lyric prawn]

recently someone did some code that does what you need

#esoteric-python message

is that what you need, a max value and it's index?

[kind helm]

yeah

it is
