To get new cards, you can fight with your cards against the computer. Each deck of card is ordered and you fight with the first card of your deck. You can have a look at it and decide which characteristic is the most promising and challenge the computer with this characteristic. If the card of the computer has a higher value than yours on this characteristic, you loose your card... But, if your card is better, the card from the computer is yours (and you keep you card). In case of draw, all players keep their cards.
If you are not satisfied with your current card(s)... or if you have lost all your cards, you can buy one or more cards from the store. The new cards are added to the top of your deck.
The code for this game and its API can be found in the following locations:
Your goal is to write:
- the documentation for the REST API of a small card game
- a client library in the language of your choice to ease programming against this REST API.
