Courses Plus Student 36,159 PointsJavaFX GUI playing card program. Showing back of card and then flipping to card face.
I am assigned to make a simple JavaFX program - a "card war" where three cards are shown face down. The user taps (mouse click) on the middle card and the right card is flipped and shown, and then taps again and the left card is. The image is then reset. The middle card remains face down (like a deck from which cards are being drawn.)
I can code the reset and the random selection of three cards. I am not sure how to code the "flip" from back to face on the right and left cards. I have a sense that the image is being replaced (the image of the back of the card is replaced with the card face image) but I don't know how to get started with coding the swap of card back for card face. The cars are gif images numbered 101 to 155, 155.gif is the card back.
Any ideas how to do this? I can post code if needed but since this is the crucial step in the game I am not sure it would be much help. Thanks.
