so what i have is a list of lists
each individual list is a list of cards
cards1 = [AS, 10H, 3D, ...ect.]
cards2 = [4H, KS, 6S, 9D,....ect]
ColumnList = [cards1, cards2, cards3...etc]
It should print out a spider solitare tableau,
but as you play the game, this columns become different lengths
ex:
tableau:
1 2 3
AS 4H etc etc..
10H KS
3D 6S
9D
i need a way to keep print the tableau every time a card is moved
the tableau has 10 columns total
any help would be appreciated!
If you are using python >= 2.6, you could use the Tabular class from this post http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet232375-2.html#post1025743 . Here is an example use
from tabular import Tabular
from random import randint
suits = "CDHS"
cvalues = list("AKQJ") + list(str(i) for i in range(2, 11))
deck = [cv + cs for cs in suits for cv in cvalues]
columns = [list() for i in range(10)]
def main():
for c in deck:
columns[randint(0,9)].append(c)
height = max(len(c) for c in columns)
table = Tabular(
[(" %s " % letter, "^", "{0}") for letter in "0123456789"],
([(c[i] if i < len(c) else "") for c in columns] for i in range(height))
)
print("{0}".format(table))
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
""" my output -->

"""thanks a lot!
is there any way to do it without using tabular?
The escape character "\t" for tabs works wonders ;)
The escape character "\t" for tabs works wonders ;)
You mean like this:
import random
suits = "CDHS"
cvalues = list("AKQJ") + list(str(i) for i in range(2, 11))
deck = ([cv + cs for cs in suits for cv in cvalues])
columns =[list() for i in range(10)]
## real dealing with card shuffling and deck cards reducing
## can adapt for situation, where not all cards are delivered at once
random.shuffle(deck)
while deck:
columns[random.randint(0,9)].append(deck.pop())
def table():
height = max(len(c) for c in columns)
print "-"*8*10
print '|',
for i in range(10): print " %i\t|" % i,
print
print "-" * 8 * 10
for i in range(height):
for c in columns:
if i < len(c): print "| ",c[i],"\t",
else: print "| \t",
print '|'
print "-" * 8 * 10
print
def move(i,j):
columns[j].append(columns[i].pop())
if __name__ == "__main__":
table()
for i in range(2):
while True:
a,b=random.randint(0,9),random.randint(0,9)
if a != b: break
print "%i to %i" % (a,b)
move(a,b)
table()
