In this assignment, you will be required to use JavaScript to complete a simple Black Jack game.
Black Jack is a simple card game that is also often called 21. The point of the game is to get a value as close to 21 without going over. A player that obtains the score of 21 with only 2 cards is said to have a Black Jack.
Rules of the game:
There are 2 types of participants in a game of Black Jack, the dealer and the players. The players play against the dealer and not against each other. In order to win, the player must have a hand value superior to that of the dealer’s.
The game starts with each player receiving 2 cards, the dealer receiving 2 cards. Each player has the option to add an additional cards (1 by 1) to his hand (Draw) or to stay with the cards he currently has (Hold). If at any point, the player’s total exceeds 21, he automatically loses the hand (Bust).
When all players complete this process, the dealer gets to complete his hand. As long as the dealer’s point total is 16 or less, he must draw a new card. As soon as the dealer’s hand reaches the value of 17 or more, he must remain with the current hand. If the dealer’s hand exceeds 21, the players still participating in the hand (those that did not Bust) automatically win.
