Sometimes I think SQL is _simple_ compared to handling cards.
Here is my scenario.
I have a deck... er, stack, of cards. Some of which are only used as templates for the creation of new cards, while others are data cards (ones created from the templates.) A couple others are storing some related data, but are not templates, nor data cards created from templates.
So, in some of my routines, I only want to reference the "created" data cards. I'm probably doing this process very wrong. I start by "marking" all the cards. Then I unmark my templates, etc. This leaves only my data cards marked.
Now, I see that I can use stuff like "go first marked card". But how can I programmatically "go seventeenth marked card"? Or 51st? Or One-Thousand One-Hundred and twelfth? I'm not looking for "Next", I need to be able to store my location, and move about from the last- specifically in groups of cards, like 1-9, 10-18... and so on.
I feel like I have to dig out some of my old magic books I bought when I was a teenager.
Is there some convention to card handling of this nature? Using backgrounds (but the backgrounds exist in my template cards too...)? Custom properties? Do people actually use "marked"?
