Hi,

Im creating a cardgame called UNO, and i've got some images of the cards that i want to use and i wonder how you in a easy way "load" them into your program. Also assign values to them and be able to randomized show up in a picturebox.

Do i have to create a specified array for each card? Like card[x] (imagefrompath(?), value(int), name) etc...

Im pretty new to this so Im thankful for all help. :)

I hate to break it to you, but somebody already invented Uno! :)

But as to your question...you wouldn't have to create an array...there are a lot of ways that you could do this. As far as "loading" them...I would probably do something like this...

Zip all of the images into one file.
Add that file to your resources.
When the program is started, I would unzip the file and extract all of the images and place them in an array. You could follow the numbering convention found in the article from the other answer (that's about the only useful thing for you in it if you are using your own images).
As far as randomization, you can use the Random class in the .Net Framework. Just make sure you keep track of the cards that have already been used if you want a real-life game.

But there are many other ways to do this.
