§wiki | Non-game-specific card handling
This module contains all the sub-modules that are not specific
to any particular game—types like Card
and Deck
and
the card constants like JACK_OF_CLUBS
.
§Cards in text
Cards are recorded to and retrieved from text (such as the JSONC files above)
using the popular convention:
Each card is a 2-letter abbreviation with a one-letter uppercase rank and a
one-letter lowercase suit. Ranks are 2
, 3
, … 9
, T
, J
, Q
, K
,
and A
. Suits are c
, d
, h
, and s
.
This format is used in lots of data files of card games around the net, such
as PHH (https://arxiv.org/html/2312.11753v2) poker hand history format.
“AsKsQsJsTs” is a royal flush, for example.
I also recognize C
for knight/cavalier, Jk
for joker, Jb
for the
black/uncolored joker in games that distinguish between them, and Jw
for
the third “white” joker.
Whitespace between cards is ignored, but is not allowed between rank and suit.
It is never produced on output.
We can also produce Unicode suit symbols and single-code cards, which may
come in handy for producing documentation.
