This program creates a digital game of Hearts. It is single-player, so the actions of the other three players are handled by an algorithm. 

I began this Java project by creating a Card object with three instance fields: one for the suit of the card, one for its value, and one to indicate whether or not it was played. Each instance field had a getter method to determine its value. The constructor validated the card's suit and value and then created the card using these parameters. Beyond the simple getter methods, a method was created to compare the cards using the Object superclass.

A similar approach was taken for the other two objects (Deck and Player). These three objects then interacted within a main method. However, this interaction was almost entirely numerical before the implementation of the GUI. The GUI was created using ActionListener.
