Flip Cards
By using a mouse to click on the cards, the cards will flip over and show the action.
The card start by showing the card back, which is blank black color. Every card can only be clicked once.
The cards will return a value to the count of the same kind of card and the count deliver its value to a boolean value to enable or disable the selection in the action menu.
When six cards are flipped, proceed to the action menu prompt.
Shuffling
Before the player's turn begin, shuffling will be executed. This will randomize the card deck.
The shuffle function randomly swaps elements in the array. This swap action will happen more than a hundred times to ensure randomness.
Battle Log
The battle log help player visualizes the damage and situation of the battle.
When the battle log starts, player input will be disabled. It starts with the player's action(s), and then the enemy's action.

Attack & Defense
The player and enemy's attacks are determined by hit, which comes from DND.
Hit value is randomized for every attack, based on the character's hit stat.
If the hit is lower or equal to the enemy's defense, the attack will miss. Otherwise, the attack will land. The damage value is determined by the character's minimum and maximum attack value.
Action Menu Input
The player can use either mouse or keyboard for action menu input.
Clicking the corresponding number key, or clicking on the action text works the same.
The action buttons lead to the skill description and confirmation for using that action.
