Card Game Simulater

These are the rules for the custom card game

  • Use a standard deck of cards (no Joker).
  • Each player is dealt only three cards.
  • 'A' is considered to have a number value of 1.
  • 'A' is considered the top card in a face-off. So the order is A > K > Q > J > 10...2

This is the condition for victory in a custom card game

  • A trail (three cards of the same number) is the highest possible combination.
  • The next highest is a sequence (numbers in order, e.g., 4,5,6. A is considered to have a value of 1).
  • The next highest is a pair of cards (e.g.: two Kings or two 10s).
  • If all else fails, the top card (by number value wins).
  • If the top card has the same value, each of the tied players draws a single card from the deck until a winner is found.
  • Only the newly drawn cards are compared to decide a tie. The top card wins a tie.
  • For now the suit (spades/hearts etc...), does not matter.

The code in the file assignment.py does the following:

  1. Simulates a game between 4 players.
  2. Randomly deals them cards from a deck.
  3. Determines the winner.

The code in test_game.py does the following:

  1. Has a number of test cases and unit test is performed on them using python's unittest library
