I have not been around here since I started almost 2 years ago with this account and I do not have too much time currently to browse all the forum to find all the answers and tips etc. i could use/need.
That said, I appreciate and thank any and all people who do reply and help me in any way. I have a fairly large project I want to do as a side hobby now that I finally have a seemingly more stable job situation.
As the subject states, I want to create just a basic deck of
cards and learn how to manipulate the deck and the best or correct way to do it. Since graduating college 2 years ago and all the
Java I did learn I went through almost 100% of the Java Head Start 2 years ago. I learned a lot of things school did not teach me but I am still iffy on things like Arraylist and some of the newer/more complicated subjects. I have tried doing some basic deck creations and shuffling methods from some online research and nothing seems to work too well.
I have worked some with GUI stuff and I also on top of wanting to be able to create a card game, I want to be able to display for now in a very simple way the
cards themselves instead of just some printout in the console of letters and numbers with the
word spelled out for the suits. I have tried doing some basic ideas for what classes and methods etc i want but I just get to a point where I am either over thinking it or I am missing something and I do not realize it.
Hopefully what I have here at least gives anyone reading this a good idea of what I want to do for now and what I would like to learn. I want to be confident in my coding and logic skills and also keep myself using the code before i really start losing what i learned.
I will get the basic methods and classes together in a reply post for what I feel I need and will take the criticisms and ideas etc. as they come before I actually do any real coding. I am currently going to use Netbeans and the the JDK that came with it.
