Ascii card drawing routine and a simple deck shuffling routine. I'm using the 8x8 font set but it's in "amazing" RGB32 graphics!

Is the '_title' the way you want it? It don't match 1st comment. I might be mistaken.

I downloaded and ran DRAWCARD. It ran great. The graphics looked good. Liked it.

JDJ your second version looked pretty cool!
However I'm bothered a bit by that really long crown the king has LOL. Sort of looks like Magneto or some other Marvel Comics bad guy or deranged hero. Maybe put the crown that's on the jack on the king, and only put a face for the jack? Can't do anything about making the queen look like a lady...

I do suppose the kings have a Kirby-like look to them. Making the queen look like a lady in ascii was a little baffling... they've go hair?

Edit: By the way, does anyone know in which version of QB64 EVERYCASE was introduced? The Wiki forwards me to SELECT CASE when I search for EVERYCASE.
Software and cathedrals are much the same — first we build them, then we pray.

I'm not sure exactly when EVERYCASE was implemented, but I'm pretty sure it was one of Clippy's requests and it came to be right around the end of SDL / beginning of GL.

Wow, that long ago. Thank you for pointing that out. During my next program I'll keep EVERYCASE in mind and see if I can use it to my advantage.
I wanted to know the time frame because I would like to add EVERYCASE to the tutorial's SELECT CASE section and to be sure I noted the minimum version of QB64 needed.
