this update includes the following:
this is my first time making a project in p5.js, which feels a little intimidating—especially with the short time frame of this jam. fortunately, i am familiar with both Processing and JavaScript, so this isn't as challenging as picking up a new language and engine. i figured it would be best for me to just get the code down for shuffling a deck (or sub-deck) of cards and pulling the top card. that's kind of all that this prototype does right now.
the next steps are to work on getting Alchemical Ingredients created and assigned to Minor Arcana cards, build a hand of Minor Arcana cards, assigning Alchemical Values to each Major Arcana card, and getting a rough visual prototype of the layout of the screen.
