cardpack.rs

Generic pack of cards library written in Rust. The goals of the library include:

• Various types of decks of cards.
• Internationalization support.
• Ability to create custom sorts for a specific pack of cards.

Usage

fn main() {
    let pack = cardpack::Pack::french_deck();

    let mut shuffled = pack.cards().shuffle();
    let sb = shuffled.draw(2).unwrap();
    let bb = shuffled.draw(2).unwrap();

    println!("small blind: {}", sb.by_symbol_index());
    println!("big blind:   {}", bb.by_symbol_index());

    println!();
    println!("flop : {}", shuffled.draw(3).unwrap().by_symbol_index());
    println!("turn : {}", shuffled.draw(1).unwrap().by_symbol_index());
    println!("river: {}", shuffled.draw(1).unwrap().by_symbol_index());
}

Examples

The library has several demo programs in the examples directory.

For the traditional French Deck:

Also included are example programs for spades, pinochle, skat, canasta, euchre, handandfoot and tarot as well as example poker and bridge hands.

Details

The goal of this library is to be able to support the creation of card decks of various sizes and suits. Out of the box, the library supports:

• French Deck
  • Pinochle
  • Spades with Jokers
  • Standard 52
  • Canasta
    • Hand and Foot
  • Euchre
• Short Deck
• Skat
• Tarot with Major and Minor Arcana

The project takes advantage of Project Fluent's Rust support to offer internationalization. Current languages supported are English and German.

Responsibilities

• Represent a specific type of card deck.
• Validate that a collection of cards is valid for that type of deck.
• Create a textual representation of a deck that can be serialized and deserialized.
• Shuffle a deck
• Verify that a specific card is playable given a set of discards.
• Determine if two deck types are translatable.
