esoteric-card-cpp

This repository is an implementation of my esoteric-card design in c++ to learn and experiment with the language.

cards

Contains the fundamental types common to all card games.

gulf

The current console card game I'm working on.

The interface should look something like this

     __   ____     
    |xx| |||3H|         (Your move, Name)
    |xx| |||H3| (p for pile, d for discard) 
                   
     __   __
    |xx| |xx|  (2, 1)    __
     __   __            |5D| (c to call, p to pass)
    |xx| |xx|  (3, 4)   |D5| (d for put in discard)

    choose your move...  

Each turn you switch a card in your tableau with the next card from the pile or the next card in the discard pile.

The goal is to reach 0. Pairs of numbers = 0. A standalone jack is -1. A standalone ace is 1. Ranked cards are their rank value. Kings and Queens are worth ten.

tests

This contains the unit tests for the application

esoteric-gulf.cpp
