Conditionals 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

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 game Write 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
