Start of the "war" project (algorithms)

##Step 1: Shuffle the deck Take a look at script.js. Examine what the two for loops do in conjunction with each other. What will the resulting array (deck) look like?

##Step 2: Deal the cards When the page loads the cards should be divided equally into each player's pile.

• Write code that will automatically divide out the cards in deck between the two players
• There are many ways to do this, try to come up with the easiest, simplest solution (remember, the deck is already shuffled at this point)

##Step 3: Create the 'war' algorithm Create an algorithm called war that determines the winner from a given pair of cards. It should be a function that accepts two cards as parameters, compares the value, and returns a winner. In the case that the cards are a tie, have the algorithm return false.

##Step 4: Create the 'play' function When the user clicks the 'Play!' button, your function should play the current pair of cards.

• The two top cards on each deck should be sent to the war algorithm
• The winner should receive both cards, which should be placed at the end of his/her deck
• Call the "advance" function to continue play

##Step 5 (Black Diamond): Account for 'tied' cards If there is a tie, the play function should then check the 4th cards from each player's deck and determine the winner, who gets all of the previous cards.
