Is there a library out there that I can use (preferably free) that allows the display the cards. There is, of course, the cards.dll from way back in th...
for(i=1;i<=n;i++) { pick a random index j between 1 and n inclusive; swap card[i] and card[j]; } for the above code am trying to find the probability of original card[k] winding up in slot n is 1/n? I guess it's (n-1)/n * 1/(n-1)=1/n. But can u help me proving this? ...

Edit: Is there an exact probability of winning that can be calculated for a given limit, independent of whatever the opponent does? (I haven't done probability & statistics since college).

The OpenGL view is set up for Orthographic projection using glOrtho; the camera is always looking directly down at the cards/table. To date, it's essentially been a 2D image composition engine. My pl...
