Joakims notes

My intent is to work with Joseph to improve tarot.el. Here are the things I’d like to do:

Multiple decks

Initially just the standard deck and a deck consisting of only the major arcana.

I would like more spreads, the celtic cross to begin with.

To simulate shuffling of a deck the user can make a random seed by wiggling the mouse or whatever.

(random t) does a hard-coded seed but for better shuffling we need to expose seed_random to lisp

Insert card images in a buffer in the shape of the spread being used. This shouldn’t be too hard if one compromises on the layouts a bit.

There are currently two variants.

The SVG implementation has more graphical promise while the org variant is simpler and allows org mode integration.

I have some home made cards I’d like to use and one can also dowload card images from Wikipedia. Maybe even Pokemon cards, why not :)

currently I include two decks:

The main ELPA repo requires FSF copyright but PD ought to be fine. The emacs maintainers need to be consulted.
