I need help with an Idea...

[Jeff]

On my idea:

Add all the cards to a qualifier group

Use the condition to pick a random object in a zone (off screen)
Place all the cards to start with there.

Then under the qualifier you can set the position you want the card to go.

It will move the random object that was picked to that position.

I can dig up an example if you can't figure out what I do.

Personally, I'd do it Kondias' way, but I don't see why the other methods wouldn't work too.
The hard part is going to be working out whether you want an Ace to represent a 1 or 11 (eg. A+A+4+5 = 21), and splitting pairs.

Thanks for the reply Jeff. An example would be great if you have one.

Not to take anything from Jeff and this is an 4 year old post.

I have a "Random Card Example" on my website.

Eliyahu has since made a Deck of Cards extension which simplifies this greatly

Thanks for example Marv. For my clarification, once the card object is picked from the zone is the object removed from the zone? So the next time you pick a random object from that zone, the same object won't be chosen again?

I'm not working on a card game but trying to understand the concept of the pick random object from zone. Where is the object that was picked stored if I want to do something with the picked object later or destroy it?

You give all the objects in the zone the same qualifier, then you pick one particular qualifier object at random from within that zone, and move it somewhere else.

As Chris said is good. The cards are removed from the zone into another. They are still available to blow up if you want, or move them again.

Ehhh...board games seem to be easy but not....its VERY difficult........I'm trying to make a SUDOKU game and I'm stucked around 4 weeks...ChrisBurrows and Phi helped me A LOT...but I'm stucked in trying to check for duplicate numbers arrays in the same column, row or group.....

but I think that you case it's a little more easy..I dont know...maybe I'm wrong..

The quick and dirty way to do a sudoku style check would be to save each column/row/group's values in a string like so:

row1 = "2,3,1,x,5,6,8,9"
column1 = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9"
group1="x,x,4,5,2,9,8,5,1"

You'd just check to see what string doesn't have an "x", meaning it's a completed row/column/group and then check for doubles in that specific string. If no doubles, the string is okay. When all strings are full with no doubles, the game is done.
