Im having a brain block and I have no clue what to do next. Im not asking for someone to write code for me, im asking for someone to give me an idea or suggestion so I know what to write next. Im pretty confused. Below are my classes related to the card game war. The rules of war are below.
) Each player is dealt 26 cards to unplayed pile.
2) Repeat steps 3 through 5 until one or both unplayed piles become empty
3)each player plays the topmost card from his unplayed pile by placing it face up on his war pile.
4. If cards have same rank, repeat step 2.
5.Otherwise, move both war piles to the winning pile of the player who has the card of a higher rank at the top of war pile.
6.The player with the largest winning pile wins.
There are 3 piles unplayed pile ,war pile, winning pile
