Using finite projective plane to generate card (maybe video) games.
Currently uses package hexmaker to create hextiles based on generated PPs.
go run main.go -flag=value
For instance:
go run main.go -order=7 -show=array to display the projective plane order 7.
go run main.go -order=3 -show=text -arrange=solve to run the solver and display the projective plane order 3, "solved" (ie every element appears in exactly one column using OR-Tools)
go run main.go -help for options.
Usage:
-arrange string
'shuffle', 'solve', 'test', 'order', or default ''
-color
Render in color
-hexdeck
Send the PP to hexmaker and make a set of images
-order int
Order of the projective plane (default 2)
-show string
'text', or 'array', (default no output)
The (commented-out) texmaker part both requires an external library, and seeks to write a test file into etc/test.pdf -- shouldn't be a problem unless you uncomment and try to run the texmaker portion.

The (commented-out) portion(s) of fracmaker seek to create a set of cards with equivalent fractions on each. Lucky gift from the universe, that there are 31 (n^2 + n + 1, for n=5) irreducible fractions from 1/2 to 9/10.
- fix Fracmaker
- generalize geometries and alignment
figure out how to integrate a solver so as to not leave Go, or have the solver (python) write a file and have pairwise read the fileCheck for deck/ subdirectory before trying to write card images to it, give error or attempt to create the directory- Add a sheet option for tiling the hexagons for easy printing and cutting prototypes
- Work on generalizing from hexmaker to "make some kind of card shape"
-
- Choose edge or corner alignment
-
- Check and deal with requests (order 8, hexagon for instance)
Wrap it all in a shell script until a native Go solver is used-
Give that wrapper an ability to take in a textfile of parameters
- Introduce a text UI for growing branches of request possibilities
-
- Check for incompatible requests, should be handled in the UI
