I draw pairs of cards from a deck of 9 then store the higher valued card and discard the other. When only 1 card remains it is automatically picked as one half of the next pair and I randomly pick the second from a newly refilled deck. This all works fine. However, the second time through, the deck is even (ending with 0 cards) so I should just reset the deck without autopicking the first card but for some reason when I try the array remains empty despite me duplicating the same line I use to refill the deck the first time. I know the code block is running because I've put a flag variable there that is being triggered. Any ideas?
//Global Vars
var deckRefill = [1,1,1,1,1,1,4,4,4];
var deck = [1,1,1,1,1,1,4,4,4];
var playHistory = [];
var discardPile = [];
var cardsPlayed = -1; //So first card played is index 0 in playHistory array
var refillFlag = 0; //Shows refill was triggered
function simGame(turns) {
var i;
for (i = 0; i < turns; i++) {
playCard();
}
//return refillFlag;
//return playHistory;
return deck.length;
}
function playCard() {
if (deck.length == 0) {
}
if (deck.length > 1) {
var draw1 =0;
var draw2 =0;
draw1 = deck.splice(Math.floor(Math.random()*deck.length), 1);
draw2 = deck.splice(Math.floor(Math.random()*deck.length), 1);
if (draw1 > draw2) {
playHistory.push(draw1);
} else {
playHistory.push(draw2);
}
} else if (deck.length == 1) {
var draw1 = deck[0];
var draw2 =0;
deck = deckRefill;
draw2 = deck.splice(Math.floor(Math.random()*deck.length), 1);
if (draw1 > draw2) {
playHistory.push(draw1);
} else {
playHistory.push(draw2);
}
} else {
deck = deckRefill;
refillFlag = 1;
}
cardsPlayed = cardsPlayed+1;
return playHistory[cardsPlayed];
}
