Card Game (Java)

A Java-based card game with a graphical user interface. Demonstrates OOP, game logic, and GUI development.

🃏 Project Overview

This project implements a card game in Java, featuring a GUI for interactive play, game state management, and save/load functionality. The game is designed with modular OOP principles and provides a fun, user-friendly experience.

✨ Features

• Card Game Logic: Deck, player, and game management
• Graphical User Interface: Java Swing-based GUI for interactive play
• Save/Load Game: Persist and restore game state (savegame.dat)
• OOP Design: Modular code with classes for cards, deck, player, game, and GUI

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Java (OOP, Swing)
• Modular design (multiple classes)
