POCard Game - Problems with selection sort of players hand
text
Body
copied!<p>We are making a simple 52 card game. We are having a lot of trouble dealing, shuffling and storing cards. 5 cards should be dealt to each player. The game is similar to Hearts but each player only gets 5 cards. This is our code so far:</p> <pre><code> int[] deck = new int[52]; String[] suits = { "Spades", "Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs" }; String[] ranks = { "A ", "2 ", "3 ", "4 ", "5 ", "6 ", "7 ", "8 ", "9 ", "10", "J ", "Q ", "K " }; // Initialize the cards for (int i = 0; i < deck.length; i++) deck[i] = i; // Shuffle the cards for (int i = 0; i < deck.length; i++) { // Generate an index randomly int index = (int) (Math.random() * deck.length); int temp = deck[i]; deck[i] = deck[index]; deck[index] = temp; } // Display the first five cards System.out.println("player 1 has:"); for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { String suit = suits[deck[i] / 13]; String rank = ranks[deck[i] % 13]; selectionSort(deck); System.out.println("Card number " + deck[i] + " : " + rank + " of " + suit); } int player1[] = deck; // Display the first five cards System.out.println("\n" + "player 2 has:"); for (int i = 5; i < 10; i++) { String suit = suits[deck[i] / 13]; String rank = ranks[deck[i] % 13]; System.out.println("Card number " + deck[i] + " : " + rank + " of " + suit); } int player2[] = deck; // Display the first five cards System.out.println("\n" + "player 3 has:"); for (int i = 10; i < 15; i++) { String suit = suits[deck[i] / 13]; String rank = ranks[deck[i] % 13]; System.out.println("Card number " + deck[i] + " : " + rank + " of " + suit ); } int player3[] = deck; } public static void selectionSort(int[] deck) { for (int i = 52; i < deck.length - 1; i--){ int currentMax = deck[i]; int currentMaxIndex = i; for (int j = i + 1; j < deck.length; j++) { if (currentMax > deck[j]) { currentMax = deck[j]; currentMaxIndex = j; }} if (currentMaxIndex != i) { deck[currentMaxIndex] = deck[i]; deck[i] = currentMax; } } } } </code></pre>
