    int main ()
    {
    
    printf("\n --------------------\n");
    printf("| The Game of 31     |\n");
    printf(" --------------------\n\n");
        int z;
        int i,j,x;
        int temp;
        int initial_deck[deck_size];
        int shuffled_deck[deck_size];
        printf("Initial Deck:\n");
        
        for(z=0;z<deck_size;z++)
        initial_deck[z]=z;
        {
        for(i=1;i<14;i++)
        { 
            for (j=3;j<7;j++)
            switch (i)

                    break;
                    printf("\n\n");

    Given that this is a homework exercise, and your code does nothing resembling a shuffle, you run into the site homework policy which, essentially, requires you to do your own homework.

    You might want to look up the Fisher-Yates shuffle.
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.

    you have spent more time messing around with printf statements than actually thinking of how to provide an answer
    Thought for the day:
    "Are you sure your sanity chip is fully screwed in sir?" (Kryten)
    FLTK: "The most fun you can have with your clothes on."

    Your starting out too complicated. I would recommend starting simple, and build up the program.
