Shuffling Card Game

Shuffling Card Game

This project is a simple and interactive Shuffling Card Game built using JavaScript. It’s a web-based card game where users can shuffle a deck of cards and test their luck by drawing random cards. The game simulates real-world shuffling and provides a visual representation of the shuffled cards.

To see the code on github codespace, go to Shuffling Cards on Codespace and select the index.html file and then go live using the go live button at the bottom of the screen from the live server extension.

Live Demo

Features:

• Random Shuffling: The deck of cards is shuffled randomly on each attempt.
• Interactive UI: Users can visually see the cards shuffle and draw.
• Clean and Responsive Design: The card game is optimized for different screen sizes, making it accessible on both desktop and mobile.
• Reset Option: Players can reset the game and shuffle the deck again for a fresh start.

Technology Stack:

• JavaScript: Core logic for shuffling and drawing cards.
• HTML/CSS: Structure and styling for the game interface.
• GitHub Pages: Hosting the game online.

How It Works:

1. Deck Initialization: The deck consists of 52 cards, represented by images or text.
2. Shuffle Functionality: A custom shuffle algorithm is used to randomly rearrange the cards.
3. Card Drawing: After shuffling, the user can draw cards from the shuffled deck one by one.
4. Game Reset: The user has the option to reset the game, which reinitializes and shuffles the deck for a new round.

// Function to shuffle the deck
function shuffleDeck(deck) {
  for (let i = deck.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
    const j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
    [deck[i], deck[j]] = [deck[j], deck[i]]; // Swap cards
  }
  return deck;
}

// Function to draw a card
function drawCard(deck) {
  return deck.pop();
}

// Initialize the deck
let deck = ["Ace of Spades", "2 of Hearts", "3 of Clubs", ...];
shuffleDeck(deck);

// Draw a card from the shuffled deck
const card = drawCard(deck);
console.log("You drew: " + card);

Challenges:

• Shuffling Algorithm: Designing an efficient and random shuffling algorithm for the deck of cards.
• Responsive Design: Ensuring the game interface is user-friendly and accessible on various devices.
• Game Logic: Implementing the logic for drawing cards and resetting the game state.
• Visual Representation: Creating an engaging visual experience for users during shuffling and drawing.
• Hosting: Deploying the game online and ensuring smooth performance.
• Testing: Ensuring the game functions correctly and handling edge cases.

Future Enhancements:

• Multiple Players: Add support for multiple players to draw cards.
• Score Tracking: Implement a scoring system to track player performance.
• Animations: Include animations for shuffling and drawing cards.
• Sound Effects: Enhance the gaming experience with sound effects.
