How to Make a Card Game on a Raspberry Pi

The purpose of this is create a game on the raspberry pi using music,buttons,lights and a buzzer! the game is called Aces and the goal is to get as close as possible to 21 without going over

Step 1:Preparing The Raspberry Pi
Get the raspberry pi and plug in a keyboard,mouse,ethernet cable and monitor

Now plug in the power cable

Now attach the ribbon cable and the breadboard

Supplies

Materials

1 red LED 1 yellow LED 1 green LED 1 Buzzer 1 raspberry pi Monitor Mouse Keyboard Speaker 6 male/male wires

Step 1: ​Step 2:Preparing the Buttons

Take the 3 buttons and align at the very end of your breadboard

Then attach a resistor each of the buttons and make the resistor go to ground Then attach a wire to each button(The cables need to be connected to GPIO pins)

Step 2: Step 3:Preparing the LED’s

You set up the LEDs in a row

Make sure that the leds are red,yellow,green to make it look more visually appealing

Attach a resistor into each circuit

Attach wires into gpio pins and then into the resistor/Led (if necessary grounding pins)

Step 3: Step 4:Preparing the Buzzer/music

Look at the bottom of the buzzer and determine the positive and negative cable

Attach the positive cable into a gpio and the negative into a ground pin

If needed add in extra male/female cables

(Optional)

-Attach a Bluetooth device to the raspberry pi in the Bluetooth section to hear music

Step 4: Step 5:Preparing the Code

Import the libraries needed shown below in the image

Assign you LEDS, buttons and buzzer a gpio pin value

Prepare the images you want to use by saving them in the same location you saved your python code

Add the image into the code by using pygame.image.load and assign it to a variable

Step 5: Step 6:Creating the Welcome Screen

Copy the code shown in the and read the comments on what each line does

Adjust the coordinates in the surface.blit command to wherever you want to place your images. (ideally similar coordinates would work best)

Step 6: Step 7:Creating While True Statements

While true statements are required to always check if a button is pressed

The while true statement below shows run2 which creates a hitbox for the welcome screen which allows users to continue into the card game

Ignore the start() for now we will need that later

Once the digital button has been pressed we move onto the main while true statement

Below is the main while true statement code you need to copy which interacts with buttons and functions

Step 7: Step 8:Creating Functions

You need to create numerous functions which include start, process_bz, process_symbol, lost_bz, win_bz, Dealcard, Compcard and end

These functions are in the images below and come with comments

Copy the code and place it above the loading welcome screen code but below the variable codes

-Copy ALL of the functions above as they all play a vital part in the game.
-Each function comes with comments to explain what the code does

Step 8: Step 10:Run!!

Run the game and enjoy it
