FEATURES
Blackjack is a text-based game coded in Java, which I made when I was first learning how to use it. I coded this on the CodeHS platform, but I added some extra features on here.
Obviously, it's based off the card game Blackjack, where you draw cards and try to get a sum of 21. You play against a dealer that hits on a sum of 17.
I was programming the project but I realized there were other actions like insurance, double down, etc. etc. so I decided to program those in, as well as some unconventional wins like a five-card charlie (you automatically win if you draw 5 cards).
I also have a work in progress story line where you bankrupt the casino out of a billion dollars by cheating using these strange gadgets.
The idea actually came to me when I wanted to make a debugger to give myself a certain hand so I could test out all the features. I had fun with this project by injecting humour into the flavour text, so I imagined the debugger as this USB stick that shot out blue lightning, which led to the inclusion of other gadgets.
In terms of programming, this taught me about object oriented programming and how to make multiple Java files communicate with each other.
UPCOMING FEATURES
Some next steps I had in mind were: (in order)
Version 1.1- Add more gadgets. I had a few ideas, like something that helps you card count.
Version 2.0- Finish the storyline.
