Dear @karmic yoke, I found out about your project to make that library thanks to the weekly meeting. And the remark from Danh about Solitaire. So just a quick note to say I am interested... creating a thread, expect a wall of text.
#Card library for Circuit Python
eternal merlin
Maybe 20 years ago I got a big interest in Solitaire kind of games, let's say at the programmatic level.
That got me to acquire the book "Solitaire" by David Parlett (c) 1979, I got the first edition printed in the USA with ISBN 0-394-73868-3 (a bit silly since there is British version).
I strongly recommend that book if you are serious about Solitaire. 🙂
My never finished project at the time was to make a parametric Solitaire game that would permit to implement as many variant as possible (399 are describe in the book).
It could be as simple as one config file per game that define stack/deck position, rules for stacking and winning condition.
So I have a very strong interested in your library as an enabler for that project I started a very long time ago.
And maybe rather than to write one Solitaire, you could write multiple in one go.
If you plan to write a Solitaire, I might fork that, or we can collaborate on this.
I need to dig this a little bit as I found the book a few weeks ago, but not my notes from that time.
It was not rocket science either, and I have high hope that my brain will recover the proper bits quickly.
I'll have a close look at your stream, check if there is a repo.
Also if you have a preferred place to discuss, as this might not be the most appropriate.
