## What it is
An HTML5 deck of playing cards built with pure vanilla JavaScript and CSS3, with no dependencies. It renders interactive, animated playing cards in the browser and is the older version of the deck.of.cards project.

## Use cases
- render playing cards in the browser
- build a card game in javascript
- add a deck of cards with shuffle and flip animations to a web page
- embed interactive playing cards in an html5 app
- create a card game prototype without dependencies

## When to choose
- you need dependency-free vanilla JS playing cards for a web project
- you want animated, interactive card visuals in the browser
- you're building a simple card game or demo in plain JavaScript

## When to avoid
- you need the newer multiplayer deck.of.cards version
- you need a full card game engine with rules and multiplayer support
- you need a maintained library with a clear license (license is unverified)
