Re: [NTG-context] OT: Pexeso (one missing rule)

Hi Lukas, Thanks for sharing your code and this nice game… even for adults :-) I tried your code with a set of images describing various shapes of leaves, and you can find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/thbm6xxbvobakj6/feuilles-jeu-1.pdf?dl=0 I was wondering how to change your code in order to get cards with an alphabet on them, or numbers and digits, or even Chinese characters, directly within ConTeXt (that is not creating first a set of images with the alphabet, or the numbers or the characters). Best regards: OK

Hello,

there is a card game called "Pexeso".

It is played by two or more players with pairs of cards of identical pictures. Initially, cards are spread regularly and are turned upside down. The first player turns two cards; if they are identical, he picks them and continues turning two more cards. If both cards do not show the same picture, ---> THEY ARE TURNED BACK UPSIDE DOWN and the next payer follows. (So the game is about to remember as many cards as possible which have been turned/shown.) The game stops when there are no more cards to turn. Who collects more pairs of cards is winner.

Usually, you can buy Pexeso of Barbies, princesses, road signs, castles, ...

My little son (of nearly 4 years) ignores all above as he is interested (or even fascinated) by construction machinery and woodworking tools.

So I decided to create a Pexeso of woodworking tools for him with the following points:

- Pictures to be processed are placed in the subdirectory called "1" (may be changed).

- Pictures whose name do not start by "-" have the first letter uppercased shown on the card ("education" for letters).

- You may simply change the text or MP code to draw the card back.

- Backs of cards are intentionally a bit randomized (I am curious how quickly children are able to recognize some cards by their backs).

- When the number of cards is not multiple of two (also my case), two more backs of cards will be drawn. This is intended and it comes due to some simplicity of the code; and it doesn't matter to anything.

- Source uses UTF-8 coding.

- There are no dependencies to external files (excluding pictures).

- The source file is attached. Due to the size (~2.3 MB), all data including the result and source pictures are available for download here:

Enjoy!

Best regards,
