I,m making a card game.If the cards are dealt face up on top of
each other one at a time,some of the cards go to the top,others
go underneath.I want each card to go on top untill another one
covers it.I'm using sprites as the cards,not bmp's.
Any ideas anyone ?
Thanx
Ev.

yeah i have an idea, have the cards so each card has two sprites, one is the whole card, the other is just a section of it.

when you have place a card on top of the other, only a bit of the card under it needs to be seen, so the sprite could be just the bit which you see, the other sprite is the whole card

so its a whole card sprite, then when another card is above it the card under it turns into just a bit of a card. this way no cards would ever overlap.

I guess you've created 52 cards in some kind of logical order...

A - K Spades
A - K Clubs
A - K Hearts
A - K Diamonds

Then you've dealt them in a random order. So, in your random deal, Spades will appear above Clubs, Clubs above hearts etc... If you deal a Club followed by a spade, it will disappear underneath.

My solution would be to have empty sprites, and assign the image as they are dealt. Either that or reassign the priority as they are dealt.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,

could you use hide sprite when the new card is dealt ?

what I do in my card games is use a sprite for the deal so it
moves across the screen, then i just use paste image then delete
the sprite
