java.lang.Object
  Card

All Implemented Interfaces:

IGuiCard

public class Card
extends java.lang.Object
implements IGuiCard

This class represents a Card object.

Obtaining suit, rank, and many boolean statements is what this class can be used for. Other values can be extended through this class.

When intiated a Card must be passed the suit, either red or black (character sensitive, not case sensitive), and a specific rank.
