# Genius Deck
## Specification
A simple web API that manages an in-memory deck of cards.
On starting the API, or after sorting, the default sort order from top to bottom is:
```
Suits: Spades > Hearts > Clubs > Diamonds
Face Values: 2 > 10 > Jack > Queen > King > Ace
```
Two of Spades is on top, Ace of Diamonds is at the bottom.
Source code location where the routes are defined: [here](https://git.fosscat.com/n8r/genius_deck/src/commit/653b309825d2f3d9687126536c70a9124fceaf3b/src/main.zig#L67)
Permitted operations are as follows:
### GET `/deal`
Takes the top card off the deck and returns it as json
### GET `/cheat`
Peaks at the top card of the deck and returns it as json
### POST `/discard`
Discards a card previously dealt
Expects data in json in the form
```json
{
"face_value": "Seven",
"suite": "Spades"
}
```
### POST `/cut`
Cuts the deck at the index provided, either as query params (`/cut?index=10`) or json
```json
{
"index": 10
}
```
### POST `/rebuild`
Puts the discard pile back into the deck and sorts the resulting deck
### POST `/sort`
Orders the deck in the default sort order (see [Specification](#Specification))
### POST `/shuffle`
Shuffles the current deck of cards in random order
## Running
You can navigate to the releases to download a prebuilt binary for your platform, or you can run it locally
yourself with Zig.
You will need to download Zig 0.13.0 from Zig's [releases page](https://ziglang.org/download/), or from your
package manager. If you use Nix flakes, a working config with direnv is already present in the repository.
### Deck Method Tests
The tests can be run with Zig by running the following command in the root of the project:
```sh
zig test src/deck.zig
```
