Let's Play High-Card-Wins

Game time!

Methods to research:

  • each_with_index
  • max
  • shuffle

Tasks:

  1. Build a deck of shuffled cards.

    • The deck should be an array of cards.
    • Each card should be a mini-array with a value and suit. Example: [8, "hearts"]
    • Shuffle the deck. It would look something like this...
    deck = [
	[8, "hearts"],
	[2, "diamonds"],
	["J", "clubs"],
	...
]
    • NOTE: do not hardcode the deck. Create it by performing methods on the two arrays in the starter code.

  2. Collect an array of player names by prompting:

    • "{n} players so far. Enter a player name, or type 'play':" Should look like this: [{name:'Jesse'}, {name:'Jane'}]

  3. Upon "play", deal each player a card.

  4. Find the highest card score dealt (Aces high).

  5. Find the winning player name, then print out:

    • "Winner(s): {name1, name2, …}!"

Bonus I

Print out one of the following outcomes:

  • "The winner is {name}!"
  • "It's a tie between {name1, name2, …}!"

Bonus II

Have the game redraw cards for all players in the case of a tie.
