We're going to recreate our original Blackjack app from week one, but this time using a backend API as a service to provide the game logic.
I've deployed the API at:
http://pure-forest-blackjack.herokuapp.com
Here's the source for that Rails app:
https://github.com/tiy-tpa-rails-q2-2015/baas
Requirements
[ ] Create a command line script, called blackjack, no '.rb'
[ ] Run chmod +x blackjack to make it executable.
[ ] Make this the first line of your program: #!/usr/bin/env ruby. You can now run ./blackjack directly on the command line to run your game. Neat!
[ ] Your entire program should be contained in this one file, in multiple classes.
[ ] Create a class (Blackjack or whatever you want to call it) to keep the HTTP requests and JSON parsing separate from all of the CLI (command line interface) code.
[ ] Create a class (e.g. Game or Interface) that uses your 'Blackjack' class to prompt the user for their name, and to hit or stay.
[ ] Display the all of appropriate output to play, including the players name.
[ ] Prompt the user for their name, and to hit or stay.
[ ] The only code written in the global/main object space in your program should be an entry point at the end e.g. Inteface.new or Game.run. You may want/need to create more classes. Try to think about a separation of concerns, each class should represent just one idea (see "SRP").
[ ] Bonus: Take an optional command line argument of a game ID and continue playing that game instead of creating a new one.
