I’ve been testing and honing my skills by creating a memory card game. I’m having a problem with my shuffleCards() function, though. I’ll show you the functions appropriate to my problem:
private function initCards() {
for(var i:int = 0; i < numOfCards; i++) {
var card1:Card = createCard(i);
var card2:Card = createCard(i);
cards.push(card1);
cards.push(card2);
}
}
private function createCard(id:int):Card {
var card:Card = new Card(id);
return card;
}
private function shuffleCards() {
var randArray:Array = new Array();
while(cards.length > 0) {
var randCard:int = Math.floor(Math.random() * cards.length);
randArray.push(cards[randCard]);
cards.splice(randCard, 1);
}
cards = randArray;
}
Pretty self explanatory I think. It creates three pairs of two cards and puts them into the cards array with assigned ID. Then the shuffle function SHOULD just mix the cards up AND retain their ID. Unfortunately that is not what is happening. When the cards are displayed the ID’s are random numbers ranging between the length of the cards array. I can’t figure out what’s wrong :puzzled:
