cards.js

A Javascript library for creating card games.

Allows the creation of custom card games using a library of cards, and supports the following concepts:

• Cards: Arbitrary HTML on the front, can be flipped upside-down to reveal a generic back.
• Piles: Stacks of cards in a specific order. Can be displayed in various ways.
• Stacks: Cards that are attached to another card in some order. Stacked cards are always in the same pile.
• Phases: Periods of time during play that end when a limit is reached (or when the player decides to end them).
• Libraries: Registries of all possible cards for a certain game.
• Games: Active game sessions that keep track of card, pile, and phase states.

Comes with a demo that defines a library for standard playing cards, and then defines rules for solitaire.

TODO

Currently being worked on:

• Core engine
  • card/pile action UI
  • card playing UI and general drag-and-drop

Multiplayer

The library currently does not support multi-player games! This is obviously a crippling flaw. We'll get there some day.
