IT COMPILES NOW, but the game doesn't work

Everywhere you were accessing ".number" use your getter (like in lines 154 and 164). I don't know that you need the friend class bit up in the card class if you use the getter. Debugging the game itself is going to take time and making sure things are getting where they need to go. Start putting some cout statements around critical parts so you can see what the values are (like the cards you drew and the value of each, etc).

/*You can work on this some more and turn it in before class on Monday if you would like.

Some suggestions:

This shouldn't be in main but in one of your classes:

card deck[52];// creates an multi dimensional-array of Objects with the Class "card"

For me, this code does not compile because in main you don't have an object of type card or game. In main you should have one game object so:

game MyGame;

Then call functions like this:

MyGame.shuffle(); */

hi i was wondering if i was to add some graphics to the card game above could please guide me, cheers
