cparmet/blackjack-oop

Project to get practice with object oriented programming.

blackjack-oop's Issues

Shared career leaderboard

PC & CP web blackjack games can share career scores

GUI

Is there some rule about 5 cards = blackjack?

Can add more CPU players

Can use same logic as dealer, or one of the betting tables, or Kelly criterion

new_table param: n_cpus = integer. It Generates their names. 

While watching two cpus slug it out seems boring, it’s like being at a real blackjack tables.

When done, update _ everywhere to only internal class vars/methods.

Test code

such as unit tests, pytest, nose

Mathjack

Euler has me thinking of a variant of blackjack where the cards aren’t dealt at random but based on a number series. If you can guess the pattern, you’ll have an advantage on guessing what card the dealer has face down. Simple patterns could change after a deck (Fibonacci series, multiples, prime numbers, evens/odds, Paul’s phone number). But more complex patterns that are harder to tease out could persist through a deck or all the decks in the shoe.

Doubling down

Live games on web

PC & CP can play against each other live over the web

Type hints

Track your career score

Late surrender

Rules

Allow splits (e.g., if you have 8 and 8 can you split this into 2 hands)

Career mode, banks, loan sharks

you start initially with an ante. if you lose it all, night is over. to come back another night, can get loans from bank. then when too negative, loan shark. then when too negative, concrete shoes. career over. or you can retire anytime. depending on how much career money you have, we see photo of your home and # of cars etc

Replace draw code with list.pop

From Paul's code

Class structure

And motivation for OOP

Can add more human players

Multiple humans, separated by comma names. Code should already work, but need instructions for Input on comma.

Set up repo and clone locally

Insurance

Option to take insurance

Mobile

Website optimized for mobile

Betting and running scores across games

• Resets at each session.
• new_game: removes players with no $
• Input bet on each hand
• Ante from table min, which you can increase on any hand. 
• player natural blackjack that isn't a push: win = 1.5 x bet

Shuffle when creating new deck, not at draw

On the web

ASCII interface

Simple window-based interface instead of command line, like ASCII cards :D

Find a py lib for text based games. Settings screen etc.

v1: Dealer should only hit if at least 1 player hasn't busted

If everyone has already busted, Dealer doesn't need to hit (and potentially bust).

3rd CPU player uses other rules

More decks

Go through them all (no reshuffling)

V1 create
