Quest for pics of game of cards

Hi all,

I want to program a tool for playing poker and evaluating hands with Monte Carlo optimization techniques. Therefore I need to have pics of all cards in iconlike format (spades, clubs, diamonds and hearts).
Does anyone know where these can be obtained (for free of course)?

thnx in advance,

Marc

Scan them & shrink them?

Or if that's too low res then a simple image of the suit & a number, merged into a single image & coloured either red or black might do. (dzImage.dll could create the card images from the raw materials)

Failing that, the first hit I had in google was: http://www.mikesedore.com/carddeck.html. You can find images in the zip files.

hi LineCutter,

That is exactly what I needeed! Thought of scanning the cards myself but, besides the extra work, I only have the dutch version of playing cards and would like to have the international (english) version of the Jack, Queen and King.
Thanks for your input!
