Extending redeal

[ThorvaldAagaard]

I am adding a lot of new criterias used for selecting a deal.

It is not clear for me, which should be part of redeal, and which I should keep in my own code, and the line between properties (hcp, qp etc) and functions (balanced, losers, etc) doesn't seem clear.

I am sure you can improve my implementation, but let me know if you are interested in adding some of it to redeal

I am not really actively developing redeal anymore (I guess I'll try to maintain it in a working state but no more than that); the feature set is essentially based on what was present in the original tcl deal. I would suggest that you just fork the project if you want to add many features to it.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

I have forked it, so you can later take a look and see if there is anything you want to add.

But I had some trouble of defining Shape for 10-card suits, and it would be nice to some way of specifying a singlesuited hand.

[anntzer]

What do you exactly want to specify?

[ThorvaldAagaard]

I want to specify a onesuited hand along with other handtypes

This is working fine, but will never find a hand with a 10-card suit

I was thinking about using l1

Smartstacking (https://github.com/anntzer/redeal?tab=readme-ov-file#smartstacking) may help for very rare hand types.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

Yes, but I am creating logic for bidding, and then the logic is input for the handgenerator to generate samples, so I am not aiming at rare handtypes, I just need to be sure, they are possible.

But we seem to have a general problem with shape, not just redeal but in general, perhaps we should use Hex.
