use spades::{Game, GameTransition, State};
use rand::seq::SliceRandom;
use rand::thread_rng;

let mut g = Game::new(
    uuid::Uuid::new_v4(),
    [uuid::Uuid::new_v4(),
     uuid::Uuid::new_v4(),
     uuid::Uuid::new_v4(),
     uuid::Uuid::new_v4()],
    500,
    None, // optional TimerConfig
);

g.play(GameTransition::Start);

while *g.get_state() != State::Completed {
    let mut rng = thread_rng();
    if let State::Trick(_) = *g.get_state() {
        let hand = g.get_current_hand().unwrap().clone();
        let card = hand.as_slice().choose(&mut rng).unwrap();
        g.play(GameTransition::Card(card.clone()));
    } else {
        g.play(GameTransition::Bet(3));
    }
}
