How would YOU code a deck of cards then shuffle them?

1

I’ve been wondering that the past few days. This is how I thought of doint it…

here is how I would make the deck…


cards = ["2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "jack", "queen", "king", "ace"];
types = ["hearts", "diamonds", "clubs", "spades"];
deck = new Array();

function buildDeck() {
	for (var i=0; i<cards.length; i++) {
		for (var k=0; k<types.length; k++) {
			var curCard = cards* + " of " + types[k];
			deck.push(curCard);
		}
	}
}
buildDeck();

And here is how i would shuffle the deck


function shuffleDeck() {
	var cardPos = new Array(52);
	tempDeck = new Array(52);
	var i=0;
	while (i<deck.length) {
		var ind = random(52);
		if (cardPos[ind] == undefined) {
			cardPos[ind] = i;
			tempDeck[ind] = deck*;
			i++;
		}
	}
	deck = tempDeck;
}	
shuffleDeck();

Just curious as to how you would all go about doing it :slight_smile:
