VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

This module provides a class for creating Bridge objects for a Chicago game (aka 'Four-Deal Bridge'), including the results and scoring and current state of the game.

  use Games::Cards::Bridge::Chicago;
  sub show_score {
    my $chi = shift;
    printf "NS = %d \t EW = %d\n", $chi->NS_score, $chi->EW_score;
    printf "  Vul:  NS = %d \t EW = %d\n", $chi->NS_vul, $chi->EW_vul;
    printf "==COMPLETE==\n" if $chi->complete;
  }
  my $chi = Games::Cards::Bridge::Chicago->new;

  show_score($chi);
  foreach my $opts (
    { declarer => 'N', trump => 'H', bid => '4', made => '4' },
    { declarer => 'S', trump => 'C', bid => '3', down => '2', dbl => 1 },
    { declarer => 'E', trump => 'N', bid => '3', made => '3' },
    { declarer => 'W', trump => 'D', bid => '5', down => '3' },
  ){
    $chi->contract( %$opts );
    show_score($chi);
  }

METHODS

new

No parameters needed.

contract

Add a contract to the game. This needs the same arguments as Games::Cards::Bridge::Contract's constructor. This method is also responsible for internally updating the attributes. See also http://www.acbl.org/learn/scoreChicago.html

both_vul

Alias to returns true iff ->we_vul() and ->they_vul().

ATTRIBUTES

These are all auto-calculated/maintained; their current values are available from the accessor method provided by Class::Accessor.

contracts

Array ref holding all the contracts added by the contract() method.

NS_score

Gives the current total North-South score.

they_score

Gives the current total East-West score.

we_vul

Returns true if the North-South side is vulnerable.

they_vul

Returns true if the East-West side is vulnerable.

complete

Returns true if the game has concluded (played 4 hands).

dealer

Returns N E S or W representing the current dealer.
