I need functions written in vb.net 2003 that will shuffle a 52 count deck of playing cards and return an array of the shuffled cards.
Additionally I need a function I can call that will take the top card off the shuffled deck, leaving the remaining cards until all cards are selected.
I will be doing much more with this code, but I want to get this part done so I can establish a good relationship with a coder before continuing.
The array will label the cards with a character string, so for instance, the 9 of hearts will be 9H, ace of spades is AS and so forth.
Open to any ideas on doing this better if you ahve any.
