		    README for Games::Cards module

		    ------------------------------

Games::Cards is a Perl module used to write card games. It's basically

a bunch of object-oriented methods to create sets of cards and move cards

within and between those sets---which, if you think about it, is all that a

card game is.

Games::Cards::Tk allows you to write games with a GUI, using card images

created by Oliver Xymoron (see http://www.waste.org/~oxymoron/cards) and

released under the GPL/Artistic License (Thanks, Oliver!).

See the embedded pod documentation for more info, including known bugs.

See Changes for recent changes in the module.

See TODO for future plans.

Games

-----

The module comes with some (free!) games in the script/ directory:

klondike.tk - Otherwise known as regular old Solitaire. 

freecell.tk - The popular Freecell variant of solitaire.

war.pl - This game plays both sides in a game of War, saving time and effort

	for weary users. And in case you saw the movie Wargames, don't worry:

	Even though the module may be buggy, it probably won't lead to a

	global thermonuclear war.

gin.pl - Plays gin. Unfortunately, Games::Cards doesn't yet work over a network

        so both players play on the same screen, which kind of ruins the

	game. Support for Server/Client games is under development

	(your help would be appreciated!)

---------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING! THIS CODE IS STILL ALPHA

The whole package may change radically before it becomes beta.

Games::Cards::Tk is even more alpha than the rest.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Installation

------------

This module uses MakeMaker, so to install it, just do:

    perl Makefile.PL

    make

    make test

    make install

--------------------------------------------------

Note:

I suspect that many Games::Cards games will be solitaire, especially before

networked game playing works. For general solitaire info, try

http://www.solitairecentral.com or.  For rules to several gazillion (320)

solitaire games, try http://www.goodsol.com/pgshelp/how_to_play.htm, which are

the help pages for the shareware "Pretty Good Solitaire" distribution.
