title: In a C# console app, how would I create 'images' for playing cards in a blackjack game?
body: <p>I'm working on a simple C# blackjack console application game for my school and I was given an example to look at. This example somehow draws a picture of the card in the console window and I can't figure out how to replicate this without specifying hundreds of Console.Write's for each of the 52 unique cards. </p>

  This is what it looks like when you're actually playing the game. Quite nice.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/C3TBN.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">shuffle and show deck</a>
  There is also an option from the main menu to shuffle and display all 52 cards.</p>
  
  <p>So what is this wizardry? Did they actually spend a TON of time hard-coding how every single unique card prints out? I sure hope not. This is what I'm trying to replicate and I'm at a loss for ideas besides hard-coding. Thanks for your help.</p>
