Want To Make My University Drinking Games More Fun

mike12255 · October 31, 2012

Every now and then my roommate find ourselves short of supplies for a drinking game eg. cards. So I wip up a quick program to play it but its not very interactive. For example the game im showing today is a very simple one called horserace. (if you dont know how to play it youtube horserace drinking game, its fun) Anyway what I want to do to this game is add a button so that it draws one card at a time instead of drawing all the cards until the game is finished. I have not really used Ajax/javascript much before so Im looking for what frameworks you think would be best for this and even specific functions or any advice you have. In case anyone wanted to see what I have so far it can be seen here: http://5.9.44.54/~unigames/ (its a slow free webhost) and if for whatever reason you would like to see my code it is here:

<?php
//define the suits
$suits = array (
"Spades", "Hearts", "Clubs", "Dimonds"
);
//define ALL of the faces for a full deck
$fullFaces = array (
"Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight",
"Nine", "Ten", "Jack", "Queen", "King", "Ace"
);


//create the full deck array
$fullDeck = array();
//full the full deck with every card
foreach ($suits as $suit) {
foreach ($fullFaces as $face) {
$fullDeck[] = array ("face"=>$face, "suit"=>$suit);
}
}
//take out the aces for the game
$gameFaces = array (
"Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight",
"Nine", "Ten", "Jack", "Queen", "King"
);


//create a gamedeck array
$gameDeck = array();


//put all the cards except aces into the game deck
foreach ($suits as $suit) {
foreach ($gameFaces as $face) {
$gameDeck[] = array ("face"=>$face, "suit"=>$suit);
}
}


//shuffle the gamedeck
shuffle($gameDeck);
//create the image paths for the aces and back of cards
$aceSpades = "images/".$fullDeck['12']['face']."_".$fullDeck['12']['suit'].".png";
$aceHearts = "images/".$fullDeck['25']['face']."_".$fullDeck['25']['suit'].".png";
$aceClubs = "images/".$fullDeck['38']['face']."_".$fullDeck['38']['suit'].".png";
$aceDimonds = "images/".$fullDeck['51']['face']."_".$fullDeck['51']['suit'].".png";
$cardBack = "images/b2fv.png";


?>
