OVERVIEW

• Approach/Ideology
• Steps To Functionality
• Challenges

APPROACH AND IDEOLOGY

Components:

• Dictionaries
• Lists
• Global and local variables
• If/elif/else statements
• While loops
• Print/Prompt/Input statements

Key Tasks:

• Establishing iSchool Rules
• A dictionary used to simulate a deck of cards
• Draw function using random.choice()
• Summing number of cards in hand/drawed and total card value
• HIT or STAY
• Simulating up to 5 player draws
• PUSH (Ties; Dealer Card Value == Player Card Value)
• BUST (card value > 21)
• Aces ( == 11 versus == 1)

STEPS TO FUNCTIONALITY

1. Dealer vs. Player Variables
2. Do you want to play (Yes/No?)
3. random.choice() player 2 cards
4. State keys (cards in hand) and value
5. HIT/STAY?
6. If hit, random.choice() another card
7. State keys and value
8. If Ace choose 1 or 11
9. HIT (instance 1, 2, 3, 4, and/or 5)
10. WIN? LOST? BUST? PUSH

CHALLENGES

• Aces to be valued at 1 or 11?
• Dealing with invalid user inputs
• Ties
• First hand == 21
• Class Storage Name as player & Dealer
• Creating Rules (Computer Logic vs Human Logic)
• User Friendliness
