Full-SVG 500 made mouse-operable for newcomers: kitty Discard button and
five-card cap, on-table phase banner, ? Help/Rules overlay with the bid
legend, legal-play dimming, card-size slider, and a layout pass that
moves the Help and size controls into the log panel so nothing overlaps.
Bump all files to 1.0.90, add NEWS, a README testing quick-start, and
make the shared engine files checkdoc-clean.
Rummy 500 gains the signature below-the-top discard pickup (T): take the
chosen card plus every card above it, melding or laying off the chosen
card at once. New `deep-pickup' class slot keeps Basic Rummy top-only;
the AI takes a buried card when it completes a new meld; the pile renders
with 0=top depth indices.
Hand & Foot gains its three missing rules: pick up the discard pile (p)
by melding the top card with two matching naturals; red threes as bonus
cards (auto-collected with a replacement draw, +100 each / +200 all four);
and the round-by-round go-down minimum (50/90/120/150) enforced as one
atomic initial meld.
Add four ERT tests (suite 111->115); refresh the README and in-file
commentary; fix cg-rum500.el's truncated file footer.
New cg-bridge.el: a four-handed Bridge game (you are South, partnering
North against East and West) on the shared cg-game base.
* Auction: level/strain bids plus pass, double, and redouble, with the
three-pass end rule, pass-outs, doubling state, and declarer
determination (first of the side to name the strain).
* Play: follow-suit with the dummy exposed after the opening lead; the
declarer plays both hands. Trick resolution honours trump and no-trump.
* Scoring: classic rubber -- trick points below the line toward game;
overtricks, slam, insult, and undertrick penalties above; vulnerability
and the rubber bonus. Verified against known results.
* A small natural bidding AI (openings, NT, raises with a fit, simple
overcalls) that always terminates the auction, plus a greedy
card-play AI.
Wire cg-bridge into the chooser, the Makefile, and the README, and add
two ERT tests (scoring math and a dozen full AI-driven deals). The suite
is now 109/109 and every file byte-compiles cleanly.
Euchre, Pitch, Briscola, and Spite & Malice
Five new files, each reusing or extending an existing engine.
* cg-match.el: Go Fish and Old Maid, matching games on a shared
helper set (completes the original wishlist).
* cg-cribbage.el: two-handed Cribbage to 121 -- the crib, the cut,
pegging, and a full show scorer (fifteens, pairs, runs, flush, nobs).
* cg-scopa.el: a capture-by-sum engine driving Scopa (40-card, sette
bello, primiera, scopas) and Casino (pairs and sums, big/little
casino, aces, sweeps). Casino omits builds.
* cg-trick-ext.el: Euchre (24-card with both bowers), Auction Pitch
(bid, pitch sets trump, High/Low/Jack/Game), and Briscola (fixed
trump, no follow), as subclasses of the cg-trick engine.
* cg-spite.el: Spite & Malice, a competitive patience to empty the
goal pile onto shared Ace-to-Queen centre piles; Kings are wild.
Wire all nine commands into the card-game chooser, extend the Makefile
EL list, and add README sections. Add ten ERT tests covering each
game's engine and a full AI-driven game; the suite is now 107/107 and
every file byte-compiles cleanly.
New files at Version 1.0.60 to match the tree; post-1.0.60 work
toward 1.0.90.
Introduce a shared meld engine and four games built on it, all on
cg-core/EIEIO with console UNICODE rendering.
* cg-rummy.el: the meld engine and Gin Rummy. Set/run validation,
candidate-meld enumeration, a bitmask-DP minimum-deadwood partition,
and a layoff finder, plus the abstract cg-rummy-game base and shared
render helpers. Gin is two-handed with draw/take/discard/knock, gin
and undercut bonuses, opponent layoffs, and play to 100.
* cg-rum500.el: the abstract cg-tablemeld-game (one mode and command
set, dispatching on the subclass) driving Basic Rummy (meld out;
score the cards left in other hands; to 100) and Rummy 500 (score the
cards you lay down, lose those left in hand; ace high and worth 15;
to 500).
* cg-handfoot.el: Hand & Foot, a partnership Canasta cousin. Hand and
foot packets, Twos and Jokers wild, rank books with clean/dirty piles,
go-out bonus, and partnership scoring to 5000. Deliberately
