SCREENSHOTS:
DuplicateBridge
DESCRIPTION:
Duplicate bridge is a variation of contract bridge where the same set of bridge deals (i.e. the distribution of the 52 cards among the four hands) are played by different competitors, and scoring is based on relative performance. In this way, every hand is played in competition with others playing identical cards, and the element of skill is heightened. This stands in contrast to Bridge played without duplication, where each hand is freshly dealt and where scores may be more affected by chance in the short run. (Wikipedia)
It is extremely laborious to produce these sorted hands manually, so this is a multi-phase project to automate the process. Commercial machines to do this are available (cost in the thousands of dollars) and they also use special barcoded playing cards which are not conveniently available.
This project is a mix of software (Python) and some basic home "Rube Goldberg" engineering. A video is here https://youtu.be/8E6X_ckxHdgg
