This library offers a few VO classes to use inside Card-related applications:
Card
: represents a Card, for example an ace of spades.Rank
: represents the rank value of a Card, for example "A" or "7" ("T" is used for 10, to keep same length).Suit
: represents the card suit, for example spades or diamonds.
Some more classes, more elaborate, are available. They are abstract, and thus require a custom implementation to extend them:
Hand
: represents a set of Card objects, usually the ones assigned to a playerHandsTrick
: represents a trick of hands (think for example Poker, when players show their hands to declare a winner)CardTrick
: represents a trick of cards (think for example the 4 cards of a Bridge turn)
Just use composer require garak/card
.
Example:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Garak\Card\Card;
use Garak\Card\Rank;
use Garak\Card\Suit;
$card = new Card(new Rank('A'), new Suit('d'));
echo $card; // will output "Ad"
$card = new Card(new Rank('7'), new Suit('s'));
echo $card->toText(); // will output "7♠"
$card = Card::fromRankSuit('Kh');
echo $card->toUnicode(); // will output "🂾"
You can also get a full deck:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Garak\Card\Card;
$orderedCards = Card::getDeck();
$shuffledCards = Card::getDeck(true);
$doubleDeckWithJokers = Card::getDeck(true, 2, true);
