Card dealing game

Expand Post »
I'm just trying to make a four-player card dealing game! But my problem is that my deck is eternal! I wan't it to deal 52 cards. So 13 card per person! The name of my persons are JLabel1,2,3,4! Can someone help me out! I'm working with Blue J and I started last week!

PS: I think the problem is somewhere in this code, but the program needs about 5 other files with codes to work! But I hope someone can help me out here.

Re: Card dealing game

Well, since you don't include the Deck class, it's difficult to see the whole domain, but a couple of things stand out.

First, make the Deck class responsible for it's own Card collection. Your applet shouldn't have to push things into the Deck. The Deck will have a maximum of 52 cards, which can be obtained from Deck.dealCard() until no more cards remain in the Deck.

Second, I would create a Player class to keep track of each players current hand and perhaps a Game class to contain the rules of the current game, such as number of cards per player, etc. This would allow for different games within the applet if you want to add them later.

Whether you choose to put it in a game class or keep it in the main applet class, a method dealNewGame() could iterate the number of cards and a collection of players as follows:
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. for ( int i = 0; i < SIZE_OF_HAND; i++ ) {
  2.     for (Player player : players)
  3.         player.addToHand(cardDeck.dealCard());
  4. }
Hope those suggestions help a bit.

Well wouldn't it be something of the lines of deal 13 cards times by four.

Where is this in your code thus far. I can't see it?
