Karl,
I'd really say this is much easier achieved using an array. Since 2.3 is
supposed to allow passing an array by reference you could simply use an
array and modify that. You could also just use a global. I don't see a real
need for pointers here.
Pass-by-reference already works, though, so why don't you just call
processPlayer player1Hand
which is defined as
on processPlayer @thePlayer
-- generic code goes here
end processPlayer
