Go Fish/Java
I read everything on the Go Fish page before starting this implementation -- except for the part about Playing Cards. So no code from that was reused here, although there may be strong similarities. The class architecture and names , as you might have noticed, were stolen from the Ruby version (GoFish was Deck until my storing all the classes in one GoFish file stopped that). Although I didn't look at the Java Playing Cards until after most of my coding was complete, as I said, I have a feeling my using enum was not an original thought, though I don't know where it came from.
As I say in the comments, this implementation was made possible by the JCF and Java's enums. I don't know how I could have done it without them.
