War Card Game

[socceraddict]

Hello,

I am asking for some help, guidance, and advice on a project I am doing for C++. The project I am working on is completing the simple card game of war. We are using visual studio 2010 and I want to make the game so that the computer plays a person and that at the end of the game I can print out a histogram of how many times the computer and person win using openframeworks.

Here are is my first step:

1) Randomizing a deck of cards and splitting half between 2 players (comp and person) - I am thinking that I can place the numbers 2-14 4 times over in a .txt file and use this as an array kind of deal to split them. Does this seem alright or is there an easier and more effective way to do this?
