Alternating people to deal to

[mrmikemcguire]

@gabesullice I'm trying to have the program alternate players to deal to, but I'm not understanding something. Assuming just a dealer and one player, when dealer.deal() in called here: this.dealer.deal(this.players[this.curPid], this.deck, this.table), is it passing a card to players[1], the sole player's array/hand... or.... does this line in the dealer.deal() - player.hand.push(card) - add the card to some other array? In a related question, is the dealer player[0]? players[0]?

[gabesullice]

Yes, the dealer is stored in the players property as player 0.

[gabesullice]

this.dealer.deal(this.players[this.curPid], this.deck, this.table) passes the player instance defined at the current index to the deal method. Then, within the deal method, that players .hand property, an array, has the card pushed onto it. This really has no effect on the HTML, but is just there to maintain the state of the players hand.

[mrmikemcguire]

Last question of the day, I promise...:) Where will I put the loop to deal two cards per person to start? (I'm thinking of an initialDeal() function.) Calling game.turn() more than once simply deals both cards to player[1].

I hadn't thought of something like that. That feels like a parameter to the deal function though. It also makes me thing that perhaps Game should have a turnCount property. so that you can do something like:

if (this.turnCount === 0) {
  for (var p in this.players) {
    this.dealer.deal(2, this.playsers[p], this.deck, this.table);
  }
  // other init logic
}

Would you have time for a screen share some time?

Sorry about the slow response, but my wife just got home from a professional development workshop, so I've been Mr. Mom...
