Default Cardfaces . . .

Hello all, right now I'm a student in CS and for a semester project I'm currently implementing a computational secure, p2p poker client (i.e. a client where you can absolutly trust the shuffler/dealer, even though there is no master server). The math behind it is a little complex, but if you really want to know I can post about it [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyways, right now I'm currently trying to find a free source of card faces for the client that don't look like a 4 year old did it in MS Paint. Anyone know a good place?

A brain free way:
Use a digital camera, take a picture of a each card. Use photoshop to edit images.

Or you can just hack solitaire, or some program on source forge.

What shuffling algorithm are you using?

Don't know yet -- shuffling is really not the important part of this setup. I'll probably just go with my gut instinct which is generate a rand from (0..n) where n is the cards left in the deck and then that card is the next in the shuffled deck, and then pull it from the pool.
A strong RNG is a really important part of this setup so I don't see why it won't work (but I will be doing some research -- I know how tricky these things are), and I'll probably be writing a plugin to pull them from random.org.
