The Oblique Strategies were originally a set of one-hundred cards, each bearing a short phrase. They were devised by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt as ways of working through creative problems. When a blockage occurs, draw a card, and see if it can direct you in a tangential way that helps solve the problem.
I have created a Python implementation that includes two different decks. Since one of these is my own, I can be sure this is an original contribution for all of you Python coders stuck on a problem!
