3rd post nice

[toxic arrow]

hehehe

dagger do you look forward to my posts or what

[west storm]

because im always here ?

[toxic arrow]

yes

[west storm]

im always staring at #1035199133436354600 / notifs of it

i have it give notification on post created as well

[toxic arrow]

ohh thats nice

[west storm]

so what u need help with

[toxic arrow]

idk whats next

[mild breach]

• deal a card from the deck to a hand
• compare hands (highest wins?)
• catch a card which overflows a hand?

A players list which is a list of Hands?

[toxic arrow]

yes this i think comes first

how about a function that has total amount of points

[west storm]

well u did all the game pieces havent u

now its piecing them together

u already pieced deck and card together

[toxic arrow]

yes

[west storm]

now piece hand and deck together

[toxic arrow]

what does that mean

maybe i was rushing to project too soon im starting to feel like

[west storm]

nah u doing great

[west storm]

here is another way to put it

we have our pieces

the deck the cards and the hand (which is essentially a player for blackjack)

now we make the actual blackjack game

using said pieces

[toxic arrow]

ok

we need to count the value of the hand

[west storm]

well is that a blackjack feature

[toxic arrow]

yes

[west storm]

then do we need to count it u think ?

[toxic arrow]

yes

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pikachu-crying-cry-sad-gif-16556971

[west storm]

so where u think this code for counting value of hand goes ?

[toxic arrow]

in the hand class

below add_cards

logically it makes sense to me but then again im stoopid

[west storm]

ye thats fine in our scenario dw

[toxic arrow]

that im stoopid?

[west storm]

i meant adding it below add_cards in hand class

but sure that too

[toxic arrow]

ahahh

[west storm]

if it makes u feel better

[toxic arrow]

haahahhah

[west storm]

it would be less fine however if we were doing like, poker and blackjack in 1 application

[toxic arrow]

no no

[west storm]

cause then why our poker hand is calculating its blackjack value instead of its poker value

or is it doing poker value

[toxic arrow]

wait waht

[west storm]

and if its doing poker value then what about hand in blackjack

[toxic arrow]

im confused

[west storm]

exactly

this is confusing behavior

[toxic arrow]

what am i supposed to do next?

[west storm]

this

go ahead

[toxic arrow]

ok

 def get_value(self):
        total = 0
        if card.rank in ['J', 'Q', 'K']:
            total += 10
        if card.rank == "A":
            total += 11

but

how would i make the ace either 1 or 11

or am i even doing this right

[west storm]

u choose one

[toxic arrow]

ok 11 it is

[west storm]

there is no right way and no wrong way to do things in coding

there is simple and complicated/complex ways of doing things

but even then there is personal prefence bias playing a role

[toxic arrow]

but the problem is not being to differentiate the two

able to*

[west storm]

if there is no way to differentiate when u chould choose 1 or when u should choose 11 then u pick one value and roll with it

and example of being able to differentiate would be like a condition

if hand.value > 15: ace_value =1 else 11

for example

[toxic arrow]

ohh right right

[west storm]

so either pick one of pick a random condition

its ur game version of blackjack after all

[toxic arrow]

ok 11 it is

import random
class Card:
    def __init__(self, rank, suit):
        self.rank = rank
        self.suit = suit

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.rank} of {self.suit}'

    def __repr__(self):
        return f'Card({self.rank!r}, {self.suit!r})'

class Deck:
    suits = ['hearts', 'spades', 'clubs', 'diamonds']
    ranks = ['A', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'J', 'Q', 'K']

    def __init__(self):
        self.cards = []
        self.populate()

    def populate(self):
        for suit in Deck.suits:
            for rank in Deck.ranks:
                card = Card(rank, suit)
                self.cards.append(card)
    def shuffle(self):
        random.shuffle(self.cards)
    
    def deal(self):
        return self.cards.pop()
class Hand:
    def __init__(self):
        self.cards = []
    def add_card(self, card):
        self.cards.append(card)
    
    def get_value(self):
        total = 0
        if card.rank in ['J', 'Q', 'K']:
            total += 10
        if card.rank == "A":
            total += 11
        if total >= 11 and card.rank == "A":
            total += 1


deck = Deck()  # Make new deck
deck.shuffle()  # Shuffle it

hand = Hand()  # Make new hand

card = deck.deal()  # Deal card from deck
hand.add_card(card)  # Add that card to the hand
print(hand.cards)  # Display what cards are in the hand right now

yeah somethings not it

[west storm]

        if card.rank == "A":
            total += 11
        if total >= 11 and card.rank == "A":
            total += 1

if card rank is A add 11

if ... and card rank is A: add 1

u got somewhat duplicated conditions

[toxic arrow]

yeah

how would i implement it

:/

[west storm]

implement wat

ace value of 1 or 11 ?

[toxic arrow]

yeah

[west storm]

i already said it

either pick one and fuck the other

or pick a condition and use said condition to switch btw the 2

[toxic arrow]

def get_value(self):
        total = 0
        if card.rank in ['J', 'Q', 'K']:
            total += 10
        if card.rank == "A":
            total += 11
        ```

fuck it we roll

i dont like how i have 2 if's statments

[west storm]

well how many would u like to have

[toxic arrow]

1

then elif

[west storm]

then do that

[toxic arrow]

then what would i have for else?

[west storm]

u dont need else

if ___:
    pass
elif ___:
    pass

this is a perfectly valid if statement

[toxic arrow]

ohh i thought if i used elif

i need an else

[west storm]

nope

speaking of else

there is loads of other places u can use it

like try/except blocks

if u know those

[toxic arrow]

i know of them

[west storm]

then there is the most random place imaginable

for loops

!e

for i in range(5):
    print(i)
else:
    print(':)')

[west storm]

anyways thats very offtopic

[west storm]

so is this all u need u think ?

[toxic arrow]

im getting burnt out not knowing wtf to do man

[west storm]

welcome to projects

[toxic arrow]

return total

[west storm]

we can but then where is that value going

[toxic arrow]
