DataJuggler.PlayingCards

A .NET playing card library that includes The Gilded Deck — a complete 52-card deck plus 4 card back images with a luxurious gilded aesthetic. Cards are 400 x 560 with a 2px transparent margin on each border.

Installation

Install via the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package DataJuggler.PlayingCards

Or search for DataJuggler.PlayingCards in Visual Studio's NuGet Package Manager.

Five Card Draw WinForms Example

// create a shuffler - 1 deck, shuffle 10 times
RandomShuffler shuffler = new RandomShuffler(1, 10);

// create a dealer
Dealer dealer = new Dealer(PlatformEnum.Windows, DeckEnum.TheGildedDeck, CardBackEnum.CardBackBlue);

// Shuffle the cards (already shuffled above, just showing an example)
dealer.Shuffle();

// iterate the cards
for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++)
{
    // get the next card
    Card card = shuffler.PullNextCard();

    // If the card object exists
    if (NullHelper.Exists(card))
    {
        // get the pictureBox
        PictureBox pictureBox = GetPictureBox(x);

        // If the pictureBox object exists
        if (NullHelper.Exists(pictureBox))
        {
            // stretch to fit
            pictureBox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;

            // Set the image
            pictureBox.Image = card.Bitmap;
        }
    }
}

// Note The Constructor Now Loads a CardBack. If you do not need the CardBack, do not pass in a card back value
// in the constructor.
// You can check if a card back is set with
if (dealer.HasCardBack)
{
    // Get the CardBack Card
    Card cardBack = dealer.CardBack;

    // This card will contain
    string path = cardBack.Path             // Blazor Projeocts
    Bitmap bitmap = cardBack.Bitmap  // WinForms projects
}

// GetPictureBox just returns PictureBox1 - PictureBox5 for a Video Poker Sample I am working on.
// Card.Bitmap is set in Dealer.PullNextCard() method for WinForms

In a future release I will update the Card object to contain a CardBack Image and Path, but for now, just use the Dealer.CardBack.Bitmap or Dealer.CardBack.Path.

Blazor Example Coming Soon

Card.Path is set for Blazor projects. This will return something like:

// Set the imageUrl
this.Card1.ImageUrl = card.Path;

In the above example, Card1 is a DataJuggler.Blazor.Components.ImageComponent.

When you call Dealer.PullNextCard and the Platform equals PlatformEnum.Blazor, Card.Path is set by calling this method.

#region GetCardPath(Card card)
/// <summary>
/// returns the Card Path
/// </summary>
public string GetCardPath(Card card)
{
    // initial value
    string path = "";
    
    // If the card object exists
    if (NullHelper.Exists(card))
    {
        // set the path for Blazor using the _content/ convention
        path = $"_content/DataJuggler.PlayingCards/Decks/TheGildedDeck/{card.CardFullName}";
    }
    
    // return value
    return path;
}
#endregion

Card Full Name

Card Full Name is a read only property that return Card Name + Suit Name + ".png";

Example Card Full Names

TwoHearts.png JackSpades.png KingClubs.png AceDiamonds.png

Updates

6.1.2026: PixelDatabase was updated and this udpates RandomShuffler. This fixes a bug where Card Full Name was not including the extension .png.

5.31.2026: I fixed the Dealer class. It now works for WinFroms. I will finish the WInForms sample and build a Blazor sample as soon as I get some time.

I also added an enum called CardBackEnum and a method to the Dealer class called LoadCardBack. This method returns a Card that has Card.Bitmap set for WinForms or Card.Path set for Blazor projects.

The Gilded Deck

This NuGet package uses a deck of cards I created called The Gilded Deck. I am copying the read me from here so you can see the card previews.

Please enjoy these cards — I worked really hard to create them.

This is a complete 52-card deck plus 4 card back images with a luxurious gilded aesthetic. Each card is 400 x 560 and has a 2 px transparent margin on each border.

How These Card Images Were Made

Most of the images were generated with ChatGPT Images 2 in Comfy UI. While the AI produced beautiful base artwork, it created inconsistencies across the deck — varying fonts, symbol sizes, and positions.

To bring everything together into a cohesive style, I used my own tools:

DataJuggler.PixelDatabase — my NuGet package for pixel-level image manipulation. For this project I added new features including drawing text upside down and rotating images. I also wrote FindFirstVisiblePixel() and FindFirstNonWhitePixel() specifically to handle the deck's needs.
Isolator — another new open-source project of mine that makes it easy to isolate objects from transparent backgrounds.

Grok (from xAI) helped me build a Marching Ants selector tool that simplified isolating and refining the images. ** Claude ** also helped with some graphics programming help. Most of the credit goes to ** CHatGPT Images 2 ** in ** Comfy UI **

I spent about $10 on Comfy UI credits to generate high-quality face cards and card backs.

These images are completely free to use in any project — commercial or personal. No attribution required, though it's always appreciated.

If you like the deck, please leave a star on this repo and drop a link if you use the cards in your own work. It helps more people discover the project!

Thanks for stopping by — I hope The Gilded Deck brings some elegance to your games, projects, or collections.
