This document describes a cards game application developed using the Ring programming language and Qt GUI library. The application deals 5 cards to each of two players. When a player clicks on a card, it is revealed. If the card matches another revealed card, the player scores a point for each matching card. If the card is a "5", the player scores for all revealed cards. The application tracks each player's score, handles clicking cards to reveal them, and checks for matches or a "5" to score points. It also includes functionality to start a new game and close the application.

55.54 The Cards Game
In the next example we will see a simple Cards game developed using RingQt
Each player get 5 cards, the cards are unknown to any one. each time one player click on one card to see it. if the card
is identical to another card the play get point for each card. if the card value is “5” the player get points for all visible
cards.
