Card-Counter
Card-Counter is an educational game developed and maintained by YaRiabtsev as part of the sindecade. The project aims to improve basic arithmetic skills and memory retention by counting cards in different table-slots with different strategies. The user has the option to use one of the preloaded strategies (Hi-Lo, Hi-Opt I, Hi-Opt II, Zen Count and other) or create their own custom strategy. The game is implemented in C++ with using Qt5, KF5, KF5KDEGames and carddeck packs from kdegames-card-data-kf5.

At the beginning of the game, the user customizes the number of table-slots, and for each table-slot, they can choose the number of standard playing card decks and the strategy. The abstract dealer then picks up one card from one or more table-slots (depending on the level of difficulty). The user must keep track of the sum of the weight of the cards in each table-slot, taking into account the weight assigned to each card in the chosen strategy.
If the next picked card is a joker, the user must answer a joker’s question to continue playing. The joker card has no weight and is rare, so answering correctly about the current weight of the table-slot with the joker card changes the score.
The score is based on the player’s ability to answer the joker questions correctly and is measured by the number of jokers the player has guessed correctly out of the total number of joker questions.
The main focus of the game is to improve arithmetic skills and memory, and the score serves as a motivational tool.
