One Card WAR — README

Overview

A simple 2-player game: deal one face-up card to each player; highest rank wins, equal ranks tie. You’ll build Card and Deck classes in a single .cpp file and play multiple games, tracking player stats. If requested games exceed available cards, Deck::deal() must throw, and main must catch and report the error. Use a vector (not an array) to store cards.

Requirements

• Classes
  • class Card with Card(char rank, char suit), void display(), int compare(Card) (1 = win, 0 = tie, −1 = lose).
  • class Deck with Deck(), Card deal(), void display(), void shuffle(), bool isEmpty().
• Struct
  • struct Player { string name; int win, lose, tie; }; Track stats for each player.
• Program flow
  1. Create deck
  2. Ask two names
  3. Ask how many games
  4. Display original (unshuffled) deck
  5. Shuffle
  6. Display shuffled deck
  7. Play N games, print winner/tie each game
  8. Print final stats
• Exception
  • Throw in Deck::deal() when deck is empty; catch in main.
• File structure
  • One source file (war.cpp). Use std::vector<Card> inside Deck.
