War Card Game

cyberfox222 (1)
I am new at programming and have been struggling for days on creating this program. I have to basically create the game of war. I have to create 2 arrays... player0 and player1 each able to store 52 cards.
I've gotten that part: player0[52] player1[52]. I then have to shuffle a deck and deal out the cards between the two players. I have to loop the game until one player has all the cards. Deck goes from two to Ace.
I am having trouble with the functions, I have to create 6.


(1) load the deck into an array.
(2) Shuffle the deck.
(3) remove a card from the top of a player's hand.
(4) move a card to the bottom of a player's hand.
(5) check if one card is greater than another based on face value.
(6) handle equal faceValue wars.

Someone please help me.


this is what I have so far:


#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

string FACEVALUE0 [13] = {"Two","Three","Four","Five","Six","Seven",
"Eight","Nine","Ten","Jack","Queen","King","Ace"};
string SUIT0[4] = {"Hearts", "Diamods", "Spades", "Clubs"};

struct card
{
int facevalue;
string suit;
};





int main()

{
string player0 [52];
string player1 [52];
srand(time(NULL));

for (int i=0; i < 52; ++i)
{

card.facevalue[i]= FACEVALUE0 [i % 13];
card.suit[i] = SUIT0[i/13];


}

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Well, here is something I came up with. Just a crude form but I hope it gives you ideas.
