Usage 🛠️

Creating a Card

Create a Card object with the following constructor:

Card card_name("CardName", 'Symbol', 'Design', Variation, Turned);

CardName: The name of the card (e.g., "Ace", "King").
Symbol: The symbol of the card (e.g., 'A' for Ace, 'K' for King).
Design: The design character of the card (e.g., 'S' for Spades).
Variation: The design variation of the card. Possible values are 1 (Minimalist), 2 (Ornate), 3 (Rounded), 4 (Dotted), 6 (Slashed).
Turned: A boolean value indicating whether the card is turned (hidden) or not.

Drawing a Single Card

Draw a single card using draw_card:

#include "CardDrawer.h"

int main() {
    CardDrawer::Card ace_of_spades("Ace", 'A', 'S', 3, false);  // Rounded design
    CardDrawer::draw_card(ace_of_spades);
    return 0;
}

Drawing Multiple Cards

Draw multiple cards side by side using draw_multiple_cards:

#include "CardDrawer.h"
#include <vector>

int main() {
    std::vector<CardDrawer::Card> cards = {
        {"Ace", 'A', 'H', 1, false},
        {"King", 'K', 'S', 2, false},
        {"Queen", 'Q', 'D', 3, false},
        {"Jack", 'J', 'C', 4, false},
        {"Ten", 'T', 'H', 6, false}
    };

    CardDrawer::draw_multiple_cards(cards);
    return 0;
}

Drawing a Turned Card

Draw a turned card with Turned set to true:

#include "CardDrawer.h"

int main() {
    CardDrawer::Card turned_card("Turned", ' ', ' ', 1, true);  // Turned card
    CardDrawer::draw_card(turned_card);
    return 0;
}
