Macao Card Game in MATLAB 🃏

An interactive card game prototype developed in MATLAB, using a graphical user interface built with uifigure and card image assets for visual rendering.

The project simulates a simplified Macao-style card game, where the player can generate a random hand, draw additional cards, and play cards into the center area of the table through clickable UI elements.

Overview

This project was built as a small graphical game in MATLAB, combining:

• GUI development with uifigure and uibutton
• random card generation from a virtual deck
• image-based card rendering
• simple hand management logic

The application creates a card deck, assigns image textures to each card, displays a playable hand, and allows user interaction through buttons.

Features

• Graphical interface built in MATLAB
• Custom card deck generation
• Card textures loaded from image files
• Random 4-card starting hand
• Draw button for adding a new card from the deck
• Clickable cards that move to the center of the table
• Basic deck state management

Technologies Used

• MATLAB
• uifigure
• uibutton
• imread
• Struct arrays and callback functions
