CardPile is a playing cards pile framework written in Java. It's very light, stable and easy to use.

Getting Started

CardPile is easy to use. Just create a PileConfig object, set configuration and create a Pile.

// Sample Code 01
PileConfig config = new PileConfig(); // create a PileConfig object
CardPile pile = new CardPile(config); // create a Pile

Changing Configuration

Default configuration:

If you run the code on Sample Code 01 your pile includes;

• All four suits (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs)
• 13 Numbers (From Ace to King)
• A black Joker
• A red Joker

Including / Excluding:

Lets say you don't need Spades suit in your pile.

// Sample Code 02
PileConfig config = new PileConfig(); // create a PileConfig object

//include - exclude suits
config.excludeSuit(CardSuit.SPADES); // exclude Spades from the pile
config.includeSuit(CardSuit.SPADES); // include Spades from the pile

//include - exclude numbers
config.excludeCard(CardNumber.ACE); // exclude Aces from the pile
config.includeCard(CardNumber.ACE); // include Aces from the pile

//include - exclude jokers
config.excludeCard(Jokers.BLACK); // exclude Black Joker from the pile
config.includeCard(Jokers.RED); // include Red Joker from the pile

CardPile pile = new CardPile(config); // create a Pile

Usage

// Sample Code 03
PileConfig config = new PileConfig(); // create a PileConfig object
CardPile pile = new CardPile(config); // create a Pile
pile.shuffle(); // shuffle cards
Vector<Card> cards = pile.getCards(5, true); // ask for 5 cards and these cards can include Jokers
//...
//... some code
//...
pile.resetPile(); //reset pile for next hand
