cardComposer: A Functional Programming Card Game
Maria L. Hwang, Mark Santolucito · 2021
We introduce a card game for teaching basic functional programming concepts - specifically maps and filters. The game uses a standard deck of playing cards and the underlying computational concepts can be introduced to students within a one-hour lecture period. We tested this game (informally) with CS-101 students and found it to be an engaging activity. We describe the complete set of instructions for the game and outline future directions of development.
