Games:...Column(3pm)

💖 Games::Solitaire::Verify::Column — the 3pm manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, it's filed under 3pm (that's the Perl module man section, iykyk), and it's the manual for Games::Solitaire::Verify::Column. The header line calls it Games:...Column(3pm) because terminals are dramatic and truncate things. Rude, honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

Games::Solitaire::Verify::Column — a class wrapper for Solitaire columns that are composed of a sequence of cards. it's giving "a tidy little list of cards with methods attached," and honestly? iconic.

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.2601

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Games::Solitaire::Verify::Column;

# Initialise a column
my $column = Games::Solitaire::Verify::Column->new(
    {
        string => ": KH QS 5C",
    },
);

# Prints 3
print $column->len();

my $queen_card = $column->pos(1);

no cap, that's the whole vibe right there: you hand it a string, it hands you back a column you can poke at.

👑 METHODS 👑

$column->len()

Returns an integer representing the number of cards in the column. literally just "how many cards, as a number." slay.

$column->pos($idx)

Returns the card (a Games::Solitaire::Verify::Card object) at position $idx in Column. and bestie, $idx starts at 0. zero-indexed, periodt.

$column->top()

Returns the top card. that's the main character of the column right there.

$column->clone()

Returns a clone of the column. a whole duplicate, no strings attached, no shared references to stress about (per the docs anyway, go off).

$base_column->append_cards(\@cards)

Appends the cards in the argument array reference to the column.

( Added in version 0.17 .)

$base_column->append($column_with_more_cards)

Appends the column $column_with_more_cards to $base_column . NOTE: append_cards() is faster. so like… if you're speedrunning, use that one.

$column->push($card)

Appends a single card to the top of the column.

my $card_at_top = $column->pop()

Pops a card from the top of the column and returns it.

my [@cards] = $column->popN($num_cards)

Pops $num_cards cards from the top of the column and returns them (as an array reference) in their original order in the column.

( Added in version 0.17 .)

$column->to_string()

Converts to a string. back to text form, like a glow-down in reverse.
