blackjack's Issues

Add option to specify logging conf file

Change players from an array to a linked list

Change how we access the players from an array style (using malloc to allocate memory) to a linked list which will make it easier to allow a player to quit (or remove them when they run out of money). Means lots of changes wherever we access the player.

Implement resizing of card array

In case a hand goes past 7 cards (should be very rare, but possible), write code to increase the size of the array to 10 cards (probably handled in deal_card()), then dropped back down to 7 after the hand (probably in clear_hands()).

This is the unfinished part of issue #4.

Convert build system from Make to CMake

Update the build system from using hand built makefiles to using CMake. CMake works better with CLion and overall should be easier to maintain moving forward.

Implement insurance bets

Insurance bets in the case of the dealer showing an Ace is not implemented. Need to update player struct to include field for this bet. Probably will wait until the player handling has been updated from an array to a linked list.

Implement split cards functionality

Implement function to split cards. Will have to check if player has only two cards and are of same value (10, J, Q and K all count as same). Update pointers as necessary, then deal new card to each hand.

Change cards from linked list to array

Change how we store the cards in the hands. Use an array of structs instead of a linked list, using default size of 5. This will ease handling/checking the cards in various functions. On the few occasions where we need more than 5 cards we'll just double the array size temporarily and reset it after the hand is over.
