Blackjack

Blackjack is a language to specify randomizers, developed by TC forum members Lardarse and Tepples.

It is intended that future versions of Lockjaw will include a Blackjack interpreter.

Syntax

list: Choose a piece at random from the comma-separated list and deal it. Equivalent to 1 bag of list.
bag of list: Make a bag of list and deal them all in random sequence, then reshuffle.
number bag of list: Make a bag of list and deal the first number in random sequence, then reshuffle.
list with len history: Keep a list called history of the last len pieces dealt. (Repeated pieces in list are separate pieces for purpose of the history.) Choose a piece at random from list which is not in history and deal it. Then put the piece in history and remove the oldest piece from history.
list with len history number rolls: Keep a list called history of the last len pieces dealt. (Repeated pieces in list are separate pieces for purpose of the history.) Up to number times, choose a piece at random from list, and if it is not in history, deal it. Otherwise, deal the last piece chosen. Then put the piece in history and remove the oldest piece from history.
spec first list: Follow spec, except choose the first piece from list.

Random Generator: bag of I,J,L,O,S,T,Z
14-piece bag: bag of I,I,J,J,L,L,O,O,S,S,T,T,Z,Z
14-piece bag, dealt halfway: 7 bag of I,I,J,J,L,L,O,O,S,S,T,T,Z,Z
Memoryless: I,J,L,O,S,T,Z
Memoryless (Bombliss): I,J,L,O,S,T,Z,I2,I3,L3
Memoryless more difficult (10% I): I,I,J,J,J,L,L,L,O,O,O,S,S,S,T,T,T,Z,Z,Z
SZSZ: S,Z
Move to Back: I,J,L,O,S,T,Z with 4 history
SZSZ alternating: S,Z with 1 history
TGM1 randomizer: I,J,L,O,S,T,Z with 4 history 4 rolls first I,J,L,T
TGM2/3 randomizer: I,J,L,O,S,T,Z with 4 history 6 rolls first I,J,L,T
Lardarse's more difficult: 5 bag of I,T,J,J,L,L,O,O,S,S,S,Z,Z,Z
