Features

Top Right Buttons:

1. Clear Deck - Clears the current deck off the screen.
2. Copy Deck - Copies the current deck for use in comparing decks.
3. Load Deck - Loads the currently copied deck for use in comparing.
4. Compare Deck - Compares the current copied deck to the current deck in play.

Bottom Buttons:

1. Draw Card - Draws a single card.
2. Draw 5 Cards - Draws 5 cards.
3. Draw 10 Cards - Draws 10 cards.
4. Flip All Cards - Flips all the cards. (They are still considered not drawn, so drawing more cards returns to the "Drawn" state.)

6. Alt Shuffle - This does an alternate less than optimal shuffle.
