War Card Game

Question

I'm thinking about making the card game war in java. I was thinking about how to represent a deck of cards. Should I have one array with all the cards in it, or should I make two arrays, one with the suit and the other with the number? Any suggestions on this or on how to go about coding it are welcome. ;)

Ahh... I didn't think of that. It will be interesting to try. Thank you for the suggestion. ;)

Answer 6

@Tristan I am not an HTML programmer, which is one of the reasons why everything you say is confusing to me. But I understand that, so okay. It would be better to do it in that instead of in java, but I just wanted to make something a little more difficult and have it record (output) the results.

Thanks for all of the help. I'm getting pretty busy right now, so it may be a while before I get back to you.

Answer 8

I'd create class "Card" with fields like, "color", "number" and "suit". Then create "Player" class which includes array of Cards objects. Hope it helped ^^

That's why I'm learning it (or one of the reasons)
