java card game programming!?!?!

[wickster]

Hello everyone!!!!!!!!!!! I was wondering if there were any good tutorials on the web that go through the development of a Java card game.... ie: blackjack.........

I know there are alot of tutorials but sending me in the right direction with a GOOD SOLID tutorial would be very, very, helpful.....

Thankyou in advance,

Is this a homework question? Not many people ask for such specific tutorials...

Here's a tutorial on basic Java graphics:

I don't know of any exact tutorials, but if we sit down and think through the program, what we need to do should be simple.

You're going to need, first and foremost, a way to store card data. Each card will have a name, value, suit, and (if you're doing this graphically), an image. So one class down.

The only other thing I can think you would need is the main program. This program will need to initialize the deck, deal the initial hands, calculate scores, accept input from each user (or calculate what the dealer does, if you're doing it that way), and calculate the results.

I very much recommend doing this all through command-line first, and you can then adjust it easily to graphics, since you will already have the backbone.
