I reported a couple of days ago that trying to coerce these data to
Unicode characters makes Script Editor and Smile quit suddenly in Jaguar.
It now turns out that a safe way to convert them is to write the lists to
disk and read them back again!
I'm now fairly convinced that the rethink I posted the other day of
Bernard's "next card to random hand" approach is just as valid as the
conventional "random card to next hand". It's also fast and economical.
So my contribution for sorted, Unicode hands would be:
on makeDeck() -- This is run when the script's compiled.
script o
-- Black spade, white heart, white diamond, black club.
property suits : {«data utxt2660», «data utxt2661», «data
utxt2662», «data utxt2663»}
property cards : {"A", "K", "Q", "J", "10", "9", "8", "7", "6",
"5", "4", "3", "2"}
property deck : {}
end script
if ((system attribute "sysv") < 4144) then -- pre-Panther, assume
Jaguar.
set fred to (open for access file ((path to desktop as string) &
"suitsTemp.txt") with write permission)
try
set eof fred to 0
write o's suits to fred
set o's suits to (read fred from 1 as list)
end try
close access fred
tell application "Finder" to delete file "suitsTemp.txt" of desktop
end if
repeat with i from 0 to 51
set the end of o's deck to ((item (i mod 13 + 1) of o's cards) as
Unicode text) & item (i div 13 + 1) of o's suits
end repeat
return o's deck
end makeDeck
property deck : makeDeck()
on deal()
script o
property chances : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, ¬
14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, ¬
27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, ¬
40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52}
property hands : {{}, {}, {}, {}}
end script
repeat with i from 1 to 52
set c to some integer of o's chances
set item c of o's chances to missing value
set end of item ((c - 1) mod 4 + 1) of o's hands to item i of my
deck
end repeat
return o's hands
end deal
set {east, north, west, south} to deal()
