War Card Game in GUI

Question

Hi, a console version of the card game War was posted here before:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/forums/thread/157047/card-war-game.aspx

I'm trying to make a similar version but on a windows form. I want to have 2 buttons, one of them the deal button and the other a play button. Each time the play button is clicked the winner of each show is output. After 4 shows the output clears and the 5th show's output is shown and so on until the 26th and final show.
After the final show the output dissapears and the final results appear.

Can someone make a version like this ?

OK, try this. You'll need to add a read-only multiline textbox (txtResult say) under your buttons (btnDeal and btnPlay say) which is big enough to display 9 lines of text. The skeleton handlers for all events should, of course, be added via the VS designer rather than manually so they are wired up automatically to the events: namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 { public partial class Form1 : Form { int[] deck = new int[52]; // all zero by default int lastCardIndex = 0; string[] cards = { "Ace", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "Jack", "Queen", "King" }; string[] suits = { "clubs", "diamonds", "hearts", "spades" }; Random rand = new Random(); int totalComputer = 0; // records total points for computer int totalPlayer = 0; // ditto for player int show = 0; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void btnDeal_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { txtResult.Clear(); Array.Clear(deck, 0, 52); for (int i = 0; i { while (true) { int num = rand.Next(1, 53); // get number between 1 and 52 inclusive if (Array.IndexOf(deck, num) == -1) // not already used { deck[i] = num; break; } } } btnDeal.Enabled = false; btnPlay.Enabled = true; } private void btnPlay_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string score; string result; if (show == 26) { if (totalComputer > totalPlayer) score = "Computer wins!"; else if (totalComputer score = "Player wins!"; else score = "It's a draw!"; result = ""; result += String.Format("Final result

"); result += String.Format(" Computer Score is {0}
", totalComputer); result += String.Format(" Player Score is {0}

", totalPlayer); result += score; result += "

Press Deal button to start another game"; txtResult.Text = result; lastCardIndex = 0; totalComputer = 0; totalPlayer = 0; show = 0; btnDeal.Enabled = true; btnPlay.Enabled = false; btnDeal.Focus(); return; } string computerSuit; int computer = SelectCard(out computerSuit) - 1; string playerSuit; int player = SelectCard(out playerSuit) - 1; if (computer > player) { totalComputer += 2; score = "Computer gets 2 points"; } else if (computer { totalPlayer += 2; score = "Player gets 2 points"; } else { totalComputer += 1; totalPlayer += 1; score = "1 point each"; } result = ""; result += String.Format("Show # {0}

", show + 1); result += String.Format(" Computer has {0} of {1}
", cards[computer], computerSuit); result += String.Format(" Player has {0} of {1}

", cards[player], playerSuit); result += score; show++; if (show == 26) { result += "

Game over - press Play button to display final result!"; } txtResult.Text = result; } int SelectCard(out string suit) { int num = deck[lastCardIndex]; lastCardIndex++; suit = suits[(num - 1) % 4]; return (num - 1) / 4 + 1; } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { btnPlay.Enabled = false; } } }
