want to create a singular deck containing all suits for a game of blackjack
ive googled a little, but i dont have a knowledge of classes yet
outer ether
It might be a good idea to use classes
odd timber
is there a better way of doing it than this without them
outer ether
but if you don't want to learn abt them then that code works fine
odd timber
alright
i do want to learn about them
but i havent gotten onto it yet
im just trying to strengthen my current knowledge
outer ether
what would you like me to do?
odd timber
nothing
outer ether
```py
deck_of_diamonds = {}
deck_of_clubs = {}
deck_of_spades = {}
deck_of_heart...
I think I know a way to optimize this without classes
odd timber
im listening
outer ether
you can make each card a dictionary like this probably
card = {
"suit": "H",
"value": 0
}
and then put a bunch of them in a list
outer ether
well the total code is this
deck = []
for suit in "HCSD":
for value in ['2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'J', 'Q', 'K', 'A']:
deck.append(value + suit)
i can do this too probably
outer ether
oh mb lemme modify that
outer ether
well the total code is this
```python
deck = []
for suit in "HCSD":
for value ...
this probably does what you want
odd timber
alright
i see that
thank you
for suit in "♠ ♥ ♦ ♣":
for value in ["2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "T", "J", "Q", "K", "A"]:
face_values = ["T", "J", "Q", "K", "A"]
if value in face_values:
deck[value + suit] = 10
else:
deck[value + suit] = value
this is what ive ended up with
brittle flume
You might want ... = int(value)
warped tartan
And this is minor, but I'd move face_values = out of the loops, or you'll be recreating that list on every iteration of the inner loop. It won't matter here, but it's worth keeping in mind.
odd timber
okay
brittle flume
It also looks like you have a space between the suits?
odd timber
yea let me
fix that
thank you
def player_draw():
player_cards.append(deck.pop(random))
player_cards.append(deck.pop(random))
player_draw()
print(player_cards)
this is my current issue
how does one
i want it to remove two random items from the dictionary
and add it to the player hand
ive considered putting the dictionary into a set
west hawk
i want it to remove two random items from the dictionary
you can choose a key at random and remove it
a dict for each suit isn't a great idea though. I would use a list for all the cards
odd timber
how can i assign the values
if im using a list though
create a tuple of value and card?
west hawk
exactly
odd timber
exactly to what i said?
west hawk
yes, your deck would be a list of tuples
!e
deck = []
for rank in ['A', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'J', 'Q', 'K']:
for suit in "♠♥♦♣":
card = (rank, suit)
deck.append(card)
print(deck)

alright ill try that thanks
west hawk
then you can easily shuffle the list or remove 2 random cards
shuffle the deck, then remove the cards from the end of the list to simulate "dealing" cards
odd timber
for suit in "♠♥♦♣":
for rank in ["2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "T", "J", "Q", "K", "A"]:
if rank in face_values:
card = (rank + suit, 10)
deck.append(card)
else:
card = (rank + suit, rank)
deck.append(card)
don't worry about the value of the card just yet in how it pertains to a specific game
this is just a deck of playing cards. They have no intrinsic value. It's the game's responsibility to give value/meaning to each card
odd timber
okay
[<built-in method pop of list object at 0x000002BD2102F700>, <built-in method pop of list object at 0x000002BD2102F700>]
def player_draw():
player_cards.append(deck.pop)
player_cards.append(deck.pop)
why lol
west hawk
I would also only draw once for your player_draw function
then if you need to draw 2 cards, call it twice
west hawk
in fact, you should return the dealt card
def deal_card(deck):
return deck.pop()
for _ in range(2):
player_cards.append(deal_card(deck))
more control
you get to decide where that card ends up
instead of a VERY specific function that only deals to the player
you now have a function that simply deals 1 card from the deck
west hawk
always try and write functions as generically as possible
it makes them more versatile and reusable
west hawk
👍
odd timber
def player_card_value():
for card in player_cards:
if card[0] in face_values:
return 10
else:
return card[0]
def dealer_card_value():
for card in dealer_cards:
if card[0] in face_values:
return 10
else:
return card[0]
this is how i have gone about assigning values for each players cards
for card in player_cards:
player_value += player_card_value()
im not sure how to make it generic
as both hands are stored seperately
west hawk
use a parameter
odd timber
print(display_cards())
def display_cards():
return "\nYour cards: {} value: {} \nMy visible card: {} value: {}".format(player_cards, card_value(player_cards), dealer_cards, card_value(dealer_cards))
why is this not printing anything
even though it should print the new cards
west hawk
I'd need the context of your full code
for a display function, printing from the function is fine
odd timber
ive sorted it haha
west hawk
no need to return there
odd timber
okay
odd timber
this is the code now
im currently struggling with getting the correct spacing
when printing out the cards
so that they allign
harsh heron
!e ```py
example_str = "Example"
s = f"""
This should be on a line by itself.
{example_str} is on the next line
This line starts eight spaces from the left of the screen.
"""
print(s)
@harsh heron :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

@odd timber
with f-string formatting you can also pad strings you insert
If you want more control over screen placement on the console you may consider a TUI library like curses or similar.
