boolean shuffleDeck()

Shuffles the hand of cards, randomizing them.

Returns:

the hand of cards, randomizing them.

getTopCardFromDeck

PlayingCard getTopCardFromDeck()

Returns the top card item object from the deck

Returns:

the top card item object from the deck

addCard

boolean addCard(PlayingCard card)

Returns the given card item object to the deck by removing it from its current owner and adding it back to the decks owner and container. If doing this causes a players hand to be devoid of cards, the hand container is destroyed.

Parameters:

card - the card to remove

Returns:

true if the card was moved, false if pigs fly

numberOfCards

int numberOfCards()

Returns the current number of cards in the deck.

Returns:

number of cards in the deck

removeCard

boolean removeCard(PlayingCard card)

Removes the given card from the deck and places it in limbo. Calls to this method should be followed by an addCard method on another deck.

Parameters:

card - the card to remove

Returns:

true if the card was there to remove, false otherwise

removeAllCards

boolean removeAllCards()

Removes all cards from the deck and places them in limbo. Calls to this method should be followed by either a destroy method on the cards themselves or an addCard method on another deck.

Returns:

true if there were any cards removed, false otherwise

getContentsEncoded

java.lang.String[] getContentsEncoded()

This method builds a string array equal in size to the deck. It then returns the contents of the deck encoded in cardStringCode format. See convertCardBitCodeToCardStringCode

Returns:

string encoded list of the cards

sortByValueAceHigh

void sortByValueAceHigh()

This method is a sort of anti-shuffle. It puts the cards in order, first by value, then by suit, with ace considered high.

sortByValueAceLow

void sortByValueAceLow()

This method is a sort of anti-shuffle. It puts the cards in order, first by value, then by suit, with ace low.

createEmptyHand

HandOfCards createEmptyHand(Environmental player)

Creates an empty HandOfCards object if the player passed in is not null, it will add the new hand to the inventory of the given hand-holder. Either way, it will return the empty hand object.

Parameters:

player - the holder can be a mob or a room

Returns:

the new empty hand of cards created.

containsCard

boolean containsCard(java.lang.String cardStringCode)

Returns whether this hand contains a card of the given string code value. A string code is a single letter suit followed by a single letter for face cards and the ace, or a number for other cards.

Parameters:

cardStringCode - the encoded card string

Returns:

true if that card is here, false otherwise.

getCard
