I was wondering how it would be possible to simulate a card game using coldstone. I'm talking about shuffling, drawing, making sure the same card does not come up twice, etc. I thought about assigning a number to each card, and when the number comes up, that card is drawn. If anyone has any other suggestions, please tell me.
Thanks

I'd also like to hear about this. It would be useful for making an MtG simulator (since there are no Mac ones right now).

deck of cards, funny you should mention this
i'll present you with two parcels:
a deck of cards is like an array, it consists of 52 objects, when discarded the status of the card could be regarded as 1 or used
changing the value of 52 variables is a non issue. how you will execute these changes/evaluate their new values will be the hard part. This requires the use of a flow control 'device' known as a case.
<>I have tested such an array which executed in under 3 seconds executing 20 events each containing a conditional object and a subsequent action.
<>I have also created a branching random index switching animation, which has the potential to speed up the selection of a card that isn't classified discard, and innately randomly shuffles the deck.
--why the run around, i'm building a card game..
however which i have mentioned, i have tested substantially.. etcetera.

It sounds like a good idea, but I still am fuzzy as to how I would implement it into a coldstone game.
