In this project, you are creating a playable game of Blackjack.
Objectives
Practice the skills and ideas you have learned so far
Effectively use loops, conditionals, and other control structures to implement control flows
Demonstrate usage of data structures to model resources
Requirements
Create a single-player blackjack game 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.
Explorer Mode
General Rules:
[x] The game should be played with a standard deck of playing cards (52).
[x] The house should be dealt with two cards, hidden from the player until the house reveals its hand.
[x] The player should be dealt with two cards, visible to the player.
[x] 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 ).
[x] When the player stands, the house reveals its hand and hit (i.e., draw cards) until they have 17 or more.
[x] If either the house or the player bust, they lose.
[x] The player should have two choices: "Hit" and "Stand."
[x] Consider Aces to be worth 11, never 1.
[x] The app should display the winner. For this mode, the winner is who is 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
[x] Reveal one of the house's cards to the player when cards dealt.
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."
