I'm making my first code and it's a card game I made up, so the first part of the script is to shuffle a deck. I'm making the non graphic version of the game until I can learn to use a SpriteSheet and cards. The script is having trouble with the function tallypoints() and I don't know why. If I remove the If statement that is inside the for loop, then it at least exits the loop but doesn't run down to the line I am wanting it to. My only goal at this point is to get it to run all the way to the document.write so that it displays the cards selected and a score that is tallied. Without going into the specifics of the game--can you tell me what to do to get this to run and any tips that turn three or four lines of code into one, for example. If you desire to complete the whole code so I can see what it takes I don't mind, I put the last directive of the code in the comments below. Thank you for your help.
