Deck of Cards IBOutlets?

General Discussion
1

I got this code for a Deck of Cards right here.

First Question:
How or what do I’ve to do when I’m connecting the IBOutlets so it will show 2 cards for each player on the view controller and then thoose cards who were played will remove from the deck?

Second Question:
I designed a whole deck of cards in Sketch by myself. How should I name those cards in Xcode that the different pictures have different value.

import UIKit

struct Card {
let rank: Rank
let suit: Suit

enum Rank: Int {
case two = 2
    case three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
    case Jack, Queen, King, Ace
    
    func rankDescription() -> String {
        switch self {
        case .Jack: return "Jack"
        case .Queen: return "Queen"
        case .King: return "King"
        case .Ace: return "Ace"
        default: return String(self.rawValue)
        }}
    
    func cardsValue() -> Int{
        switch self {
        case .Jack: return 10
        case .Queen: return 10
        case .King: return 10
        case .Ace: return 20
        default: return 5
        }}
}


enum Suit: String {
    case spade = "♠️"
    case heart = "♥️"
    case diamond = "♦️"
    case club = "♣️"
}

}

func generateDeckOfCards() -> [Card]{
var myDeckOfCards: Array = Card
let maxRank = Card.Rank.Ace.rawValue
let aSuit:Array = [Card.Suit.club.rawValue, Card.Suit.diamond.rawValue, Card.Suit.heart.rawValue, Card.Suit.spade.rawValue]

for count in 2...maxRank {
    for suit in aSuit {
    let aRank = Card.Rank.init(rawValue: count)
    let aSuit = Card.Suit.init(rawValue: suit)
    let myCard = Card(rank: aRank!, suit: aSuit!)
        myDeckOfCards.append(myCard)
        
        }
    }

return myDeckOfCards
}

generateDeckOfCards()

var deckOne = generateDeckOfCards()
var singleCard = deckOne[51]

func cardsInfo(playingCard:Card) -> (name: String, emoji: String, Points: Int) {

let description = playingCard.rank.rankDescription()
let myEmoji = playingCard.suit.rawValue
let cardPoints = playingCard.rank.cardsValue()
let card = (description, myEmoji, cardPoints)
return card

}

var theCard = cardsInfo(playingCard: singleCard)
theCard.name
theCard.emoji
theCard.Points

have you checked out the “war card game” app? the idea should be quite the same

you can just simply “remove” the cards from the array once you use them in your view

check out our nifty article for swift arrays maybe you can figure something out with this :slight_smile:
