Gambling Python Package

A project to create the necessary tools for gambling, such as cards and dice

Currently supports creation of:

• Dice
• Cards

Dice

Input for Dice:

• num=1 # This is the number of dice to use
• sides=6 # This is the number of sides on each dice

For 5 6-sided dice for something such as Yahtzee here would be the command:

>>> from gambling import Dice
>>> dice = Dice(num=5)

For a 20 sided dice for something like D&D use this in Python:

>>> from gambling import Dice
>>> dice = Dice(sides=20)

Methods for Dice:

>>> dice.roll()   # This causes the list under the Dice.values to simulate a new roll.
>>> dice.values  # This will show the list of the values on the dice. The list is equal in length to the number of dice

Cards

There are two objects in the Cards package:

• Card
• Deck

A Deck builds a list of Card objects. Cards rank and suits can be called, along with value if needed for arithmetic needs such as blackjack or war. The input needed for a card is a single letter rank as a string and a single letter suit.

Some things you can get from card:

>>> from gambling import Card, Deck
>>> AceOfSpades = Card('A','S')
>>> TenOfHearts = Card('10','H')
>>> TenOfHearts.rank  # This will return 10
>>> TenOfHearts.suit  # This will return 'H'
>>> AceOfSpades.rank  # This will return 'A'
>>> AceOfSpades.value # This will return 14, 'J' : 11, 'Q':12, 'K':13, 'A':14

Making cards by themselves isn't very useful, but making decks will be useful and you can use the Card object to get a value There is one optional input for Deck:

• num = 1 # It defaults to using one deck, but you can change that to multiple decks if needed for something like blackjack

>>> PokerDeck = Deck()
>>> PokerDeck.order  # This returns a new deck with the cards in order
>>> PokerDeck.shuffle()  # This shuffles the deck to randomize the order
>>> next(PokerDeck)  # This calls the next card in the deck, the deck can be used as an iterator as such
