BridgeDealer is an app for manual dealing of preset hands for
bridge sessions or bridge lessons or for reading a hand shuffled
board into a PBN file. Preset hands can be obtained from a local
PBN file from a PBN DLM or BBO LIN file on a website or by direct
recognition of hand diagrams on various types of bridge results
sites. The phone's camera is used for card recognition and can
recognise standard playing cards that use JQKA symbols for the
picture cards. Bar coded cards are not required.
For dealing the phone or tablet is placed on the table and the deck of cards held above the device. Cards are dealt from the bottom of the pack and for each card a green arrow is displayed on the phone screen indicating whether the card should be placed in the North South East or West hand.
For reading a hand shuffled board into a PBN file the deck must be stacked in the correct order with all 13 North cards at the bottom of the deck then the 13 East cards above then the South cards finally the West cards. As for dealing cards are presented one at a time from the bottom of the deck.
