Over on Codewalkers.com this morning, there's a new PHP Coding Contest posted - this time around you will be playing the game of Spades.

Here's the details: You will make two scripts that will together play the game of Spades. [...] The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards (2-10, J, Q, K, A in 4 colors; ace is the highest). There are four players playing, and they are in fixed partnerships, with players opposite each other playing together.

It's you basic game of spades, but it pulls from some data files for its cards, and each call to the script equates to one turn from each player. You define the players with the input when the script is called.
