Thanks, halley, for the pointers. I'm still really new at programming and program design in general, so I appreciate the pointers. It never occured to me to think about distribution cards.dll (I'm that well assimilated).

I'll also make note of making a text-only version first and build the GUI on top of it. It's not a bad pointer, since it's the opposite of what I would have done (stinking newbies!). Putting pictures up first just has a way of motivating things, you know? :) Not only does text-first make sense as you think about it, but you can make a smaller hide-from-the-boss version in the beginning! (I remember a linux-based game that was kinda like street fighter but all ascii characters!)

Thanks for good pointers!
