cardpack.rs
Generic pack of cards library written in Rust. The goals of the library include:
- Various types of decks of cards.
- Internationalization support.
- Ability to create custom sorts for a specific pack of cards.
UPDATE: This is a complete rewrite of the library taking advantage of generics in order to make the code cleaner, and easier to extend.
Setup
Build and run common tasks with GNU make:
make
Run make help to see all available targets.
Usage
use *;
Details
The goal of this library is to be able to support the creation of card decks of various sizes and suits. Out of the box, the library supports:
- French Deck
- Short Deck
- Skat
- Tarot with Major and Minor Arcana
The project takes advantage of Project Fluent's Rust support to offer internationalization. Current languages supported are English, German, French, Latin, and Klingon.
Cargo features
Every dependency-bearing capability is gated behind a Cargo feature so consumers can trim what they don't need:
| Feature | Default | Pulls in | What turns off without it |
|---|---|---|---|
i18n |
yes | fluent-templates |
FluentName, Named, Card::fluent_name*, localization |
colored-display |
yes | colored |
Color, Colorize, Card::color*, Pile::to_color_* |
yaml |
yes | serde_norway |
BasicCard::cards_from_yaml_*, the Razz deck (YAML-loaded) |
serde |
yes | serde |
Serialize/Deserialize derives on Pip/Card/Pile etc. |
Default-features builds behave exactly like prior versions. To trim:
= { = "0.6", = false, = ["serde"] }
yaml implies serde (it deserializes into the serde-derived structs).
WebAssembly
cardpack compiles cleanly to wasm32-unknown-unknown (browser WASM)
with every feature combination. See docs/wasm.md for
the consumer-side getrandom backend setup, recommended feature
combos, and runtime gotchas. A working example lives at
examples/wasm.rs.
Responsibilities
- Represent a specific type of card deck.
- Validate that a collection of cards is valid for that type of deck.
- Create a textual representation of a deck that can be serialized and deserialized.
- Shuffle a deck
Examples
The library has several examples programs, including demo which shows you the different decks
available.
For the traditional 54 card French Deck with Jokers:

Display a hand of Bridge:
❯ cargo run --example bridge

Running `target/debug/examples/bridge`
First, let's deal out a random bridge hand.
Here it is in Portable Bridge Notation:
W:KJT.JT63.K8.QJT9 A75.KQ9874.65.AK Q6432.5.AJ74.853 98.A2.QT932.7642
How does it look as a traditional compass?
NORTH
♠ A 7 5
♥ K Q 9 8 7 4
♦ 6 5
♣ A K
WEST EAST
♠ K J T ♠ Q 6 4 3 2
♥ J T 6 3 ♥ 5
♦ K 8 ♦ A J 7 4
♣ Q J T 9 ♣ 8 5 3
SOUTH
♠ 9 8
♥ A 2
♦ Q T 9 3 2
♣ 7 6 4 2
Now, let's take a PBN Deal String and convert it into a bridge hand.
Here's the original' Portable Bridge Notation:
S:Q42.Q52.AQT943.Q 97.AT93.652.T743 AJT85.J76.KJ.A65 K63.K84.87.KJ982
As a bridge compass:
NORTH
♠ A J T 8 5
♥ J 7 6
♦ K J
♣ A 6 5
WEST EAST
♠ 9 7 ♠ K 6 3
♥ A T 9 3 ♥ K 8 4
♦ 6 5 2 ♦ 8 7
♣ T 7 4 3 ♣ K J 9 8 2
SOUTH
♠ Q 4 2
♥ Q 5 2
♦ A Q T 9 4 3
♣ Q
Other decks in the demo program are canasta, euchre, short, pinochle, skat, spades,
standard, and tarot.
Other examples are:
cargo run --example handandfoot- Shows how to support more than one decks like in the game Hand and Foot.cargo run --example poker- A random heads up no-limit Poker deal.
