so this is my problem:
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>
#define DECKSIZE 52
#define VALUE 9
#define FACE 4
typedef struct {
int value;
char* suit;
char* name;
}Card;
Card cards[DECKSIZE];
char *faceName[]={"two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine",
"ten","jack","queen","king","ace"};
char *suitName[]={"spades","diamonds","hearts","clubs"};
void printDeck(){
int i;
for(i=0;i<DECKSIZE;i++){
printf("%s of %s \n",cards[i].name,cards[i].suit);
if((i+1)%4==0 && i!=0) printf("--------------------\n\n");
}
}
void shuffleDeck(){
srand(time(NULL));
int this;
int that;
Card temp;
int i;
for (i=0;i<10;i++){
this=rand()%DECKSIZE;
that=rand()%DECKSIZE;
while(this==that)that=rand()%(52+1);
//printf("shuffle card%d with card %d\n", this, that);
temp=cards[this];
cards[this]=cards[that];
cards[that]=temp;
}
}
int main(){
int suitCount=0;
int faceCount=0;
int i;
for(i=0;i<DECKSIZE;i++){
if(faceCount<9){
cards[i].value=faceCount+2;
}else{
cards[i].value=10;
}
cards[i].suit=suitName[suitCount];
cards[i].name=faceName[faceCount++];
if(faceCount==13){
cards[i].value=11;
suitCount++;
faceCount=0;
}
}
{
//printDeck();
//shuffleDeck();
//printDeck();
//printDeck();
}/*
int c;
int rdm();
{printf("To play blackjack press 1:");scanf("%d", &c);}
if (c==1)
do{
printf("this still works\n");
break;
}while(c==1);
if(c!=1)
do{
printf("Please only press 1.\n");
break;
}while(c<=1);
*/
int P_hand, D_hand;
srand(time(NULL));
P_hand=rand() %52+1;
D_hand=rand() %52+1;
printf("%s of %s,----%s of %s\n ",&P_hand, &P_hand,&P_hand,&P_hand );
shuffleDeck();
printf("%s of %s,----%s of %s\n",&D_hand,faceName[0],suitName[2],faceName[5],suitName[1]);
shuffleDeck();
return 0;
}
}}
;
so my question is how do i only print out 2 RANDOM cards on one line and 2 RANDOM cards on another?
with the part i wrote down i can print out the whole deck in random order with the shuffle function that i wrote. but i just cant figure out how to modify this function to only print out what i need.
keep in mind that this is a start to a blackjack game so here is a visual of my goal:
seven of spades, ten of diamonds
---------------------------------------------
six of hearts, four of clubs
hit or stand?
let me know if you have any advice
