Blackjack

In this project you will create a playable game of Blackjack.

Objectives

• Create an event-driven user interface
• Effectively use loops, conditionals and other control structures to implement control flows
• Demonstrate usage of JavaScript objects and arrays to model resources

Requirements

Create a single player black jack games that plays against the house, i.e. a human player and computer dealer. You are free to create the user interface however you want, but keep it simple for Explorer Mode.

General Rules:

• The game should be played with a standard deck of playing cards (52).
• The house should be dealt two cards, hidden from the player until the house reveals its hand.
• The player should be dealt a hand that contains two cards, visible to the player.
• The player should have a chance to hit (i.e. be dealt another card) until they decide to stop or they bust (i.e. their total is over 21 ).
• When the player stands, the house will reveal its hand and hit (i.e. draw cards) until they have 17 or more.
• If either the house or the player bust, they lose.

Assets

• Find a set of card images here
• Make an images folder in your project
• Extract that cards.zip file and then copy/move the extracted images into your project's images folder
• Note that the names of the images are of the form face of suit.svg (without the spaces)

Explorer Mode

• [x] The player should have two choices: "Hit" and "Stand"
• [x] Consider Aces to be worth 11, never 1.
• [ ] The page should display the the winner. For this mode, the winner is defined as who was closer to a blackjack (21) without going over.
• [x] There should be an option to play again; this should reset the hands and reshuffle the deck.

Adventure Mode

• [ ] Reveal one of the house's cards to the player when cards are first dealt.
• [ ] Consider aces be worth one or eleven.
• [ ] Allow the player to "Split".
• [ ] Improve the win requirements. From Wikipedia:

  Players win by not busting and having a total higher than the dealer, or not busting and having the dealer bust, or getting a blackjack without the dealer getting a blackjack. If the player and dealer have the same total (not counting blackjacks), this is called a "push", and the player typically does not win or lose money on that hand. Otherwise, the dealer wins.

Epic Mode

• [ ] Add a betting system that carries between rounds
• [ ] Allow the player to "Double down" or "Surrender"
• [ ] Add more Players
