I wanted to create this like the show and make it free to anyone wanting to play. Any and all ideas will be welcome.
My idea for the rules are to use the rules from James Bond-007. It has modern vehicles, weapons and fits into our time better than most fantasy games. Movement is good and it's not too far off the beaten track.

If someone would like to be a moderator, I would greatly appreciate your help during this trying time. Thank you all for your kindness and understanding.

If you have read or used these authors' wargame rules,
Start with a score of 1 to 10 with 1 being horrible and 10 being the best rule book you've ever used for wargaming. Then write the reason you chose this number. The good, bad, and what could have been included to make the rule set better or shouldn't be in the rules at all.

| Customizable Electronic Card Deck |
|

Here's an Arduino project to create an electronic card deck. It reduces the deck each time you take a card so you won't have the same card reappearing. It is customizable for any game you want to create, and it's easy to build.
==================================================================================
I made the suits Tan, Brown, Olive Green, and Black. You can change them to whatever you want. The cards are also numbered 1 to 10 and have three generals to separate them (Jack, Queen, King). All of the Generals count as ten points.
The images (
,
,
,
) should be around 150 pixels wide by 200 pixels tall to match the code's resizing dimensions.
If the images are larger or smaller, the script will resize them to 150x200 pixels, but starting with images of similar dimensions will ensure they display well and maintain quality.
Suggested Image Dimensions:- Width: 150 pixels
- Height: 200 pixels
Make sure each image clearly shows the suit or symbol so it's easily recognizable when displayed in the application.
============================================================================
INSTRUCTIONS ARE BELOW, PAST THIS INTO THE EDITOR> DON'T DELETE THE INSTRUCTIONS. They won't show when there's a # in front of the sentence.
=============================================================================

# Step-by-Step Instructions for a non-coders to Build This Project
# Parts List:
# 1. Computer with Python installed
# 2. Tkinter library (comes with Python)
# 3. PIL (Pillow) library for image handling (install with: pip install Pillow)
# 4. Images of cards saved in an 'images' folder:
# - tan.png
# - brown.png
# - olive_green.png
# - black.png
# Assembly Instructions for the Coding Project
# Step 1: Install Python and Libraries
# - First, install Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/downloads/).
# - Once Python is installed, open the Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac/Linux).
# - Install the PIL (Pillow) library by typing the following command and pressing Enter:
# pip install Pillow
# Step 2: Set Up the Folder Structure
# - Create a new folder on your computer where you will save your game files. You can name it something like 'CardDrawingGame'.
# - Inside this folder, create another folder named 'images'.
# - Save the images of the cards inside the 'images' folder. The images should have the following names:
# - tan.png
# - brown.png
# - olive_green.png
# - black.png
# Step 3: Write the Python Code
# - Open a text editor like Notepad (Windows) or VS Code (recommended for beginners).
# - Copy and paste the Python code provided below into the text editor.
# - Save the file with the name 'card_game.py' inside the 'CardDrawingGame' folder you created earlier.
# Step 4: Run the Card Drawing Game
# - Open the Command Prompt or Terminal on your computer.
# - Navigate to the 'CardDrawingGame' folder using the 'cd' command. For example, if the folder is on your desktop, type:
# cd Desktop/CardDrawingGame
# - Once you are inside the 'CardDrawingGame' folder, run the Python code by typing:
# python card_game.py
# - You should see a window pop up that lets you draw cards by pressing the button.
End of instructions. Code is below
# Python Code for the Card Drawing Game

except FileNotFoundError:
card_image_label.config(image='')
card_image_label.image = None
# Create the deck and initialize the GUI
deck = create_deck()
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Card Drawing Game")
card_label = tk.Label(root, text="Press the button to draw a card.", font=("Helvetica", 16))
card_label.pack(pady=20)
card_image_label = tk.Label(root)
card_image_label.pack(pady=10)
draw_button = tk.Button(root, text="Draw a Card", command=draw, font=("Helvetica", 14))
draw_button.pack(pady=10)

I personally want to get away from the deck of cards system. Dice are ok, and I think if we are using a deck, maybe the deck of cards should be smaller and not look like playing cards. They could look more like they belong to a war game.
An app would be okay, but if the phone doesn't get the signal, then what? Maybe a simple program in a small case for the tabletop with 54 cards like a deck and two Jokers. It randomly shows the numbers but graphics are simple and nice, unlike standard playing cards. Okay, enough brainstorming on that.

I am the owner of this forum. I'm married with six children 15 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. I taught 6th-grade US history and love RPG and wargames, but I've become too old and no one wants to play at my age. I'm here to find like-minded people to build the forum and make friends everywhere.
