I remember going through this...
I'll say start with an array of every single card value, being 2S, 2C, 2H, 2D, 3S, etc. etc.
Then, get an image for each card, or simply create a container field to just hold the text value.
(int)(Math.random()*52) to get a random card for dealing, and have each one have a value.
i.e.
switch(getActionListener.getText().charAt(0)){
case A: int value 11; break;
case 2: int value = 2; break;
case 3: int value = 3; break;
......
case 9: int value = 9; break;
Default: int value =10;
}

if(value==11 && total+value>21)
value=1;

total+=value;


This probably isn't the whole method, but it might help you get started...

EDIT: You don't actually need the suits, at least not in blackjack. Second, you'd have to create a filter so there are no repeats.

lol. I remember doing this in grade 12.

Here's some additions to what Archaic said:

I used suits since you can name your card image files to be 1_heart.jpg or whatever, and be able to get/create the correct image simply by what part of the array you're at (or 2-d array, depending on whatever clever way you want to do the array). Modular arithmetic and constants should make this pretty simple.

Also, instead of a filter you can use 2-3 collections for deck, discarded, and on table (or w/e smart way of implementing this you choose) and simply move objects around. I'd use integers, since you really only will ever need to have 5-6 card objects at max.

edit: Showing images are simple enough, you can extend JPanel or use JButton with ImageIcons I believe (or some sort of Image object, I forget). Are you a beginner to swing?

your best bet is to keep posting questions either in this thread or to create a new blog post for each set of questions. Forums are good and allow you to see different viewpoints from many different people.

start by making the cards, the deck, the shuffler, the hands and when you're done with your tools, just put them all together.

java is an oop language and that's the way it should be done.

Don't have aim, and I'm at work too. Just post whatever questions you have here. I look at TL every couple hours or so, and I'll try to answer whatever questions you have.

I hate doing anything gui related in Java

It's been some time since I did that, from what I recall is that Swing has some class for Logos/Pictures, but you can also use a JButton and replace it with a picture. This way you automatically have a way to listen for clicks on that card.
