Some
Techniques
It
is
useful
to
recall that the possible character heighfs
are
10 pixels or 20
pixels.
It
is
obvious that the 10 pixel height musf be used
to
allow space for a proper layout
The number
of
character
pOSitions
across the screen must be estimated.
If
we
adopt
the convention
of
'T'
for
ten
Instead
of
'10"
all
card values can be represented
as
a
Single
character Suppose that
we
also
allow a maximum
of
eight cards
of
the same
SUit
as
a
first
approach.
We
can reconsider the problem again
if
necessary. That would
require a
total
of
10
characters
for
each hand. The across requirement
is
therefore:
west hand
+ table width + east hand
Allowing a space between characters that would
be:
20
+ table width + 20
The
decision now depends
on
which screen mode
you
choose.
The
256 mode
will
cope
with
the problem,
as
you
will
see
later
but
first
we
Will
work
in
512
pixel
mode.
The
smallest
character width
IS
six
pixels which would give a
total
of
240 pixels + 'able width.
The
diagram
will
have some balance
if
we
have
a table width
of
about half
of
240.
We
should therefore experiment
with
a table width
of
about 120 pixels which may be
adjusted. A little testing produced the layout shown.
