CSCI 105 Ivy Tech Community College Python Programming Card Game Project

The objective of this lab is to create the beginnings of a python-based card game. create the main function and various functions that will accomplish the following goals:

Build a single-dimension array to keep track of the location of every card

DO NOT move cards around… Just use the array to keep track of where each card is

All card data is really integers – Use other arrays to translate integers to suits, ranks, and player names

All cards will start in the DECK

Write a function that translates a card number to a card name. HINT – look at the suitName and rankName arrays

Write a function to assign a card to a given player

Dealing a card involves picking a card number and assigning a new location to the corresponding element of cardLoc

Write a function that displays the location of every card. (Early versions should show numeric values for the card number and location. Later versions can include string values for prettier output.)

Write a function that prints the name of every card in a given hand

Starter Code

Please begin by copying the following code to your editor. You will not need to change my code at all, (in fact, you may not change the main code) but you will need to add several new functions to make it work correctly.

“”” cardGame.py

basic card game framework

keeps track of card locations for as many hands as needed

“””

from random import *

NUMCARDS = 52

DECK = 0

PLAYER = 1

COMP = 2

cardLoc = [0] * NUMCARDS

suitName = (“hearts”, “diamonds”, “spades”, “clubs”)

rankName = (“Ace”, “Two”, “Three”, “Four”, “Five”, “Six”, “Seven”,

“Eight”, “Nine”, “Ten”, “Jack”, “Queen”, “King”)

playerName = (“deck”, “player”, “computer”)

def main():

clearDeck()

for i in range(5):

assignCard(PLAYER)

assignCard(COMP)

showDeck()

showHand(PLAYER)

showHand(COMP)

Sample output

Your program output should look something like this. (It’s perfectly fine if things don’t line up perfectly. It’s the general structure I’m looking for.)

Hints

This assignment tends to trip people up. It is not difficult to write, but I’m asking you to think in a way that may be completely unfamiliar to you. The key to this program is the way the cards are organized in computer memory, which is NOT the way they work in real life.

Do not use a two-dimensional array

You are storing a DATABASE of card LOCATIONS. This is actually more powerful than storing cards themselves, but it’s not the way humans do it.

Card numbers

It may help to think of the card numbers like this:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38

39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51
