As I'm starting to learn a few schools of thought related to betting and card games, I figured it'd be worth building my own "automated casino" so that I could test different card game strategies and collect some of my own data.
The project layout is as follows:
cards.pyhas the base classes for cards and a deckblackjack.pyhas the standard rules for dealing out hands, standard dealer logic and end game scenarios (via exceptions)player.pycontains all of the logic that a player would use to play the game
There are currently two (2) interfaces:
python blackjack.py
This lets you play a single game via the command line, passing in h to hit or s to stay. The game will end with an exception that indicates the game's final state.
python player.py [-n 1000]
This plays the specified number of games against the dealer, using the player logic in player.py, and prints out some summary statistics at the end.
Try tweaking the player logic to test your own strategies and see if you can win more than you lose!
