Canadian Fish

This is a single-player only version of a six person card game with rules as described on this page.

This is currently playable/winnable but there are several potential improvements

TODO

-> other players take turns
-> declare -> handle player's team running out of cards -> handle opponent's team running out of cards -> handle player running out of cards -> skip button -> ensure that games actually stop eventually

-> stronger AI -> process of elimination inference -> prefer players who are known to have asked for a particular suit (partial knowledge of cards?) -> guess that if a player does not snatch back something that was taken then they are out of that suit? -> polish? -> breadcrumbs in ask menus? -> manual hand sort? -> click to select cards -> window arrows change to shifting arrows -> seleceted card is swapped with adjacent cards -> insert cards at whichever index binary_search Errs with -> let player decide at game start how first player will be determined

Installation for Compilation

This program relies on libBearLibTerminal.so so that should be copied into usr/local/lib or another folder indicated by this command: ldconfig -v 2>/dev/null | grep -v ^$'\t'

then you should run sudo ldconfig to complete the installation.

Then the executable should run correctly.

Alternately if your OS has a package for BearLibTerminal, that may work as well.

Compiling for Windows

Comment out the line containing crate-type = ["dylib"] in the Cargo.toml in the state_manipulation folder. (this is more or less a workaround for this issue, hopefully we will eventually be able to make this switch using the cfg attribute, but currently using the attribute doesn't appear to work correctly.)

Run cargo build --release then copy the exe in ./target/release to the desired location as well as the following :

• a copy of the precompiled BearLibTerminal.dll and BearLibTerminal.lib.
• the state_manipulation.dll in ./target/release/deps
• any necessary assets (graphics, sound, etc.).
