<&Reiver>
Does anyone have a tool for throwing together a quick custom deck of cards and then drawing at random from it?
09:20
<~Vorntastic>
I can write that in Python pretty quick
09:20
<~Vorntastic>
Like ten minutes
09:21
<&Reiver>
Which is why I was suprised it's not out there with the same convinience as, like, die rollers on teh internet
09:21 * Reiver hms
09:22
<&Reiver>
Is it complicating scope much to have it able to be fed files with lists of cards?
09:22
<&Reiver>
(That way I can wrestle a CSV or whatever instead of needing to edit source code while assembling multiple decks)
09:23
<~Vorntastic>
Man I wish I knew where I put my files teaching Kaura to code
09:23
<~Vorntastic>
Because it was literally the program I had him write
09:23 * Reiver has indeed tried learnin Python. Like, three times now.
09:23 * Reiver should probably try once more, but... eesh
09:24 * Reiver has the ADD meaning he picks up basic syntax, starts attempting to assemble meaningful suites of algoratms, then hits, like, one implementation detail (regex are a classic), gets handed the /tools/ to solve it, and collapses, because he was already trying to learn the first tool, dangit.

09:26
<~Vorntastic>
Do you want me to try teaching you
09:28
<~Vorntastic>
(not right now, of course, but in general)
09:30
<&Reiver>
I mean
09:30
<&Reiver>
we've tried twice before
09:31
<~Vorntastic>
Fuck, have we
09:31
<&Reiver>
Yup
09:31
<~Vorntastic>
Welp
09:31
<&Reiver>
ISTR one time failed because I needed, basically, a linked list and for some reason dictionaries weren't good enough
09:32
<&Reiver>
And this then demanded a rearchitecture and the whole thing fizzled
09:32
<&Reiver>
And then the next one fell apart at the point I was left As An Excersize To The Reader and hit a regex and that was that
09:32
<&Reiver>
There has been another time with a regex as well which likewise failed
09:32
<&Reiver>
And that's been the list to date
09:34
<&Reiver>
Which is fair enough - #Code definitely has a bias to 'hand people tools, not answers', but in the case of especially regex it has a nasty habit of simultaneously being mission critical /and/ a whole new thing to learn with no relevant reference points
09:35
<&Reiver>
So I get stuck on trying to figure that one out and then the whole project collapses and that was Program #1 and so I get frustrated and go do something else less productive with my time
09:35
<&Reiver>
And by the time I'm feeling better about my inability to learn, like, two things at once any more, I've forgotten everything I learned the first time~
10:12
<~Vorntastic>
But yeah the one I made with Kaura was awesome, it was while interactive cli program
10:12
<~Vorntastic>
And had like half a dozen tools
10:14
<~Vorntastic>
We also ran into an actual bug in the Python runtime
10:21
<&Reiver>
O.o
10:21
<&Reiver>
That's quite the trip
10:21
<&Reiver>
You know what? Sure, let's try again.
10:21
<&Reiver>
If anything else we can be quite certain it's doable, because it's been done before.
10:22
<&Reiver>
And I could use a little card shuffler as a one-off tool for Axes & Anvils.
10:22
<&Reiver>
I mean I could do without it just as easily by making a list in Excel and hitting randomise, but where's the fun in that~
10:24
<~Vorntastic>
Question: do any of the cards have names that start with numbers
10:27
<~Vorntastic>
(magic the gathering follows this rule; a standard deck does not if you write as, say, "2 of hearts")
10:29
<~Vorntastic>
Well, before we get there: are there multiple cards of the same name in the deck
10:33
<~Vorntastic>
Also, I promise that there's no regex in this.
10:33
<~Vorntastic>
The Coolest Trick In Computer Science, though
10:34
<&Reiver>
There will be no duplicates, and I will be defining the names so can choose to put in numbers or avoid it if desirable
10:35
<&Reiver>
(The cards in question are also available in a table that numbers them for die rolls you see)
10:35
<~Vorntastic>
Okay with no duplicates that's more effort
10:36
<&Reiver>
I uh
10:36
<&Reiver>
Decks of cards do not usually have duplicates?
10:36
<~Vorntastic>
Er
10:36
<&Reiver>
Oh, magic, I see
10:36
<~Vorntastic>
I meant, without duplicates, one of the plans I had would have been more effort than it's worth

<&Reiver>
Ah, this is a trick in which "2 of hearts" means "We have 2x Hearts cards in the deck" or some such?
10:40
<~Vorntastic>
Well, it would have turned that into two copies of "of hearts" but yeah
10:50
<~Vorntastic>
I'm working on architecture so we don't have to fuck with it later
10:50
<~Vorntastic>
But I'm also on my phone and at work and tired~
10:52
<&Reiver>
legit

<&Reiver>
cheers vorn <3

L systems kinda blow my mind even more now that I'm learning how they work
14:18
<~Vorntastic>
Yes they're pretty wild
14:28
< catalyst>
L systems?
14:32
<~Vorntastic>
Fortunately Wikipedia's article is very good on this
