Blackjack

A simplified version of Blackjack.
Rules:

• There are two kinds of Player: Dealer and User
• The dealer gets one card to start (in real life, the dealer gets two, but one is face down so it doesn’t matter at this point).
• Users gets two cards to start.
• Dealer goes last.
• A player can repeatedly “hit” or “stand”.
• If the player “stands”, their turn is over, and their score is calculated based on the cards they have been dealt.
• If the player “hits”, they get another card and the value of that card is added to their total score.
• An ace normally counts as a 1 or an 11 (whichever is better for the total score).
• If a player goes over a score of 21, they bust and lose immediately.
• The dealer repeatedly draws until they reach a score of 17 or more, at which point they stand.

• Otherwise, the player with the highest score wins.

  • We don't consider ties for simplicity.
  • So, it can happen that both multiple players can win.
    

  In our simplified version of Blackjack, we’re not going to keep track of which specific cards a player has been dealt. We’ll only track the sum of the values of the cards.
