Question 1

What cards are included in the deck?

Accepted Answer

The generator uses a standard 52-card deck with four suits (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades) and 13 ranks each (Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, King). Each card has a numeric value: Ace=1, numbered cards=face value, Jack=11, Queen=12, King=13.

Question 2

Can I select specific suits or exclude certain ones?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can choose which suits to include in your generation. You can select any combination of Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, and Spades. At least one suit must be selected to generate cards.

Question 3

How do duplicate cards work?

Accepted Answer

When duplicates are disabled, each card can only appear once in your selection (maximum 52 unique cards). When duplicates are enabled, you can generate up to 99 cards with potential repeats of the same card.

Question 4

Do the cards display visual images?

Accepted Answer

The generator attempts to display card images when available in the /assets/cards/ directory (e.g., heartsA.png, clubs10.png). If images aren't found, cards display with text showing the rank and suit symbol.

Question 5

What file naming convention is used for card images?

Accepted Answer

Card images should be named with the suit name followed by the rank: heartsA.png, diamonds2.png, clubs10.png, spadesK.png, etc. The generator looks for these specific filename patterns.
