Coding with Playing Cards

Card game – Teacher v Students

The rules of the game are:

If I draw a black card, I get a point

Else, you get a point

Card game – Teacher v Students

The rules of the game are:

If I draw a black card, I get a point

Else, you get a point

if (card.colour) == black) {teacher.points +=1;}else {student.points +=1}

What is this game?Work together to understand what the rules of this next game are.Then split into two teams and each team takes it in turns to draw a card from the pack, until each team has drawn 15 cards. The rules are:if (card.colour) == black) {team.points +=1; }

if (card.suit) == clubs) {team.points +=2;}

}else {otherteam.points +=1}

Pseudo code:

If a card is black the playing team gets 1 point

If the card is a club they get 2 points

Else the other team gets a point

Card properties

Card Properties Variablescard.colour black, redcard.suit diamonds, hearts, clubs, spades

card.value A=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, J=11, Q=12, K=13

Attributing points - some examples

+=1 -=2+=timesTwo (to double the current score)

Writing code for another game

Write the code for the following game:1. The team drawing the card gets a point for

every red card, 2. except if drawing a red ace, when they will

double their current points score, 3. else the other team gets a point.

Writing code for another gameWrite the code for a game where the team drawing the card gets a point for every red card, except if drawing a red ace, when they will double their current points score, else the other team gets a point.

if (card.colour) == red) {team.points +=1;

if (card.value) == ace) {team.points +=timesTwo;}

}else {otherteam.points +=1}

Code your own card game

Can you make up a game and write the code for the game rules where:• odds and even numbered cards are treated

differently?• the points scored relate to the face value of

the card?• there are special events – eg wiping out all

points, instant win, triple points
