Title: German Cards
Post by: Khris on Thu 04/02/2010 22:09:36
So. I'm planning to do the best card game of all time, Schafkopf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schafkopf), as a single player game. The real challenge here is coding the AI.
Since I'm a bit afraid of starting that, I've decided to draw the cards first.

Here's the Seven of Bells:

I don't really like the not-really-circular shape of the Bell, but with that dimensions, the current line seems to be the best approximation of a circle. Also, the lower, red part is supposed to show leaves; those have a line down their middle, but it's really hard to draw that without using several more colors.

Well, I'm open to ideas and will put new cards in this thread also.

Alright, I've just realized the actual cards I used as reference seem to feature some alternative design. Oh well.

This is the probably most used variant here:

Maybe you can use it for reference. The leaves on the Bells suite ar not red, though.

I think they are still a bit to high in comparison with real cards.
But else, they really look like the original!
