Have you ever found yourself wondering how to make a card game, but
don't want to go through all the hassles of making the graphics and
putting all the logic into drawing cards? Then you're a lot like me!
There are a lot of fun card games out there that I want to make (because
I never seem to find them in commercial products -- like War and Pyramid
Solitaire), but I'm a terrible artist. However, I've always found that
it's better to avoid reinventing the wheel whenever possible -- and
Microsoft has been kind enough to put all the legwork into card games
for you!
I've concocted a tutorial on how to implement the graphics for a card
game using Microsoft's Cards.dll file (installed already on every
version of Windows that REALbasic supports). Additionally, I've created
an example project that takes this knowledge and puts it to use by
making the game "War." You can find the project on my website:

Enjoy!
