As fans of the award-winning deck-building game Balatro, we made the ultimate companion app that takes off the pressure on predicting your next drawn cards. Deck Tracker App helps you make smarter decisions by providing real-time probability calculations and an easy way to track your deck. Features: * Card Probability Calculator – Instantly calculate the odds of drawing specific cards from your deck. * Deck Builder – Keep track of the cards you've drawn, used, or are still waiting on.Card Probability Calculator – Instantly calculate the odds of drawing specific cards from your deck. * Contrast Mode - Using the same colors from Balatro, Contrast Mode changes the Club suit to blue and the Diamond suit to gold. * Stone Cards - Stone cards are here! Add them into your deck and it will be counted just like the other regular cards. How to Use * Build your deck in the Deck Builder. * When using the companion app alongside to the game you're playing, you can start by discarding the cards that is in your hand. You can do this by tapping the middle icon on the tool bar near the bottom of the screen. In the context of Balatro, you would discard the used cards and the cards currently in your hand to remove them from the pool of cards to draw from. * Two questions will be asked which will be needed to compute for the probability 1. How many cards will you draw? - The number of cards to be drawn from what's left of the deck. (If you're playing Balatro, this can be the number of cards you're going to discard or the number of cards you're about to play). 2. Minimum number of matches: - The fewest number of successful combinations you want to achieve from the cards you're drawing. This helps filter results based on how many matches you’re aiming for. (If you're playing Balatro, you might have selected all the remaining 4s and need a minimum of 2 to make a four of a kind) Disclaimer: This app is intended for entertainment and educational purposes only.
