[Edu-sig] Cards n stuff...

[Jeffrey Elkner]

Thanks, Guido, but PySol is *WAY* too difficult for 1st year students.
The GUI isn't seperated from the logic, so they would need to
have a good understanding of TkInter to be able to make any
sense of it.  They are getting their first exposure to OOP, so I wanted
and example that was simple.

Here is what I gave them:

class Card:
  def __init__(self, suite, rank):
    self.suite = suite
    self.rank = rank

class Deck:
  def __init__(self):
    self.cards = []
    for suite in range(4):
      for rank in range(1, 14):
        newCard = Card(suite, rank)
        self.cards.append(newCard)

The game will be text based, so what I am looking for is
a simple example with shuffle methods, etc.
