hide cards from other player #72

For a two player game, how do you see your own cards, but hide them from the other player?

In other words, after dealing the cards, how can I look at my cards without the other player able to look at them?

That needs to happen on the frontend. The api doesn't show or hide cards; it just manages the deck. If you are creating a game with two players (on different computers, rather than standing next to eachother on the same computer), you will need a server. The server could make calls to deckofcardsapi, and could then send messages back to the client with which cards they have and handle all the game logic.
