deck shuffle is very simple... well.. if you keep cards in a 1D array (having it as 2D just complicates things) deck shuffle |

despite being less organized, I think a 1 dimensional array from 1 to 52 is actually the better way to go with this. it makes shuffling and dealing a lot easier. though I guess it depends on what type of game you are making. For games with trump (Euchre, 500, Bridge) or other games such as Hearts, a 2D array might be best. But for Blackjack or War or something, 1 .. 52 might be easier. how are you planning on shuffling and keeping track of cards? EDIT: erg that took me forever to type. damn MSN  |

ya was deciding like wat type of array i want so i was experimenting it but if i use 1d array rite, like i can use rand.int to help me shuffle it, but if i need to keep track of it i need to use boolean rite? so how can i keep track with it with boolean? when i mean keep track like, if i got a 3rd of spades out, i can't draw another 3rd of spade again EDIT: like i'm thinking of keeping the suits of the cards by different colour, i don't want any graphics or anything in this game since i'm trying to keep it as simple as possible |

um, I would tag it with an integer. 0 means its in the deck, 1 means its in player 1s hand, 2 means its in player 2s hand. |

you could have an array like this:
this will get the array set up, and set the values to 0. |
