I print with some professional card printing companies, the pricing goes something like 10 decks, 500$, 50 decks 800$, 100 decks 1200$, and 300 decks 1500$ and then it continues to drop

Since I printed only 50, I think the price is too high, so I would rather to give them for free than to charge unreasonable price. If you are willing to pay the shipping cost send me an email to [e-mail], I still have few left.

You can get the 50 deck rate for even a single deck (and there are often coupon codes) at https://www.printerstudio.com/unique-ideas/blank-playing-car... or https://www.artscow.com/photo-gifts/playingcards

Also, if you're trying to give this away, they both allow you to share a link to your design so other people can buy the cards direct.

edit: the sites may seem cheezy, but they're probably responsible for 95% of prototype card decks that professional designers print.

For other excellent non-Chinese, Buy America options, there are https://www.printplaygames.com/product-category/prototypes/c... , https://www.thegamecrafter.com/make/pricing#Cards and https://www.drivethrucards.com/joincards.php

For those kind of costs, I'd print 300 for $1500. That's just $5 a piece. Sell them for $10, and you can afford to give away half of them.

I think this project would make a great Kickstarter. I don't think it would be hard to get 300 people interested in backing this. Shipping is probably going to be the biggest issue; find people on other continents to help you distribute it there. That can save a lot of money.

Maybe you could run all the decks as a kit on kickstarter?

I would love to buy all of them as a set, and I believe a lot of others would as well.

I am halfway done with the C deck, as we are switching to C soon, and I will setup a kickstarter after, should be done around December.

I want her to know why x[3] and 3[x] are the same thing.

    int x[3];
    2[x] = 5;

    printf("%d %d\n", 2[x], x[2])

A lot of people struggle with

    x = 5
    y = 6

    y = x

    x = 7
    print(y)

and

    x = [1,2]
    y = [3,4]

    y = x

    x.append(5)
    print(y)

There is something magical in understanding how the computer uses its memory, its almost as if you walk out of a mist.

I think it will be very valuable to have a set of 4 decks: python, machine code, unix pipes and C, so that the decks compliment each other. In the machine code deck there are few cards that have pointers (e.g. https://punkx.org/4917/play.html#43), and they can be used to help with the C deck for example.

Then its LISP.

Sounds awesome! I’ll pitch buying a bunch of these for work as well. Extremely good idea!
