Off topic? Yeah sort of..

I was playing PySolFC, a GPL project of some 200 solitaire games, and I noticed they had a card set called Hex a Deck, pictured below. There are some 68 cards in the deck (4 jokers), and obviously for most games it only uses up to 0x0D (King).

Then I got curious and wondered if there was a real hexadecimal pack of playing cards available somewhere. Would make an interesting novelty item for a game of poker with your programming buddies.

So, let's call this one of our semi-irregular searching challenges...can you find a set of regular playing cards in hex notation anywhere on the net?


I couldn't find any, but I did find an interesting idea in using hexadecimal as a way of remembering which cards have been dealt from the pack when playing a game. Maybe something to work on before hitting the casinos

FWIW, I only play FreeCell solitaire because I'm a weenie and it's almost impossible to lose at it...

http://www.libertyplayingcards.com/Default.aspx?tabid=422 for the custom order..

As for the custom embossed version..I might be able to make you one..if you can read braille..

Custom made, hmm, that seems like bending the rules of a search challenge.. nothing existing?

Thanks for the braille offer, sounds like a marked deck though. How about one tagged with invisible ink on the back that can only be seen with special glasses

Howdy,

I found this:
