I''m trying to make a JAVA version of a card game using a new deck of cards. The reason is I have a Macintosh and a Dreamcast, and I want those players, as well as the new systems, to be able to play my game. I don''t understand how to to make random objects appear, namely cards with different properties, like differing numbers and suits, how to ensure a certain quantity of each card, namely 1, how to link up players in multi-player games, and most importantly, how to show certain cards to everyone, certain cards to one person, and certain cards to no one until later when drawn or turned over. Does anyone have any advice for me on this?
