This blackjack game is my first Angular 2.0 project. Click for live demo on github page. Please keep in mind that if you don't start the app with the default route and you start with "/game" or "/lobby" because of the github page hosting you'll get a 404 error. On the local server it works fine!
This game supports up to 4 players but it can be easily extended to an unlimited number of players. At the beginning each player sets his/hers bankroll. When clicking play the route changes and the main game room component is loaded. Here each player must select a betting value. Clicking multiple times on the chips increases the bet. If player has less than 20 or 10 in wallet, 10 and 20 chips are disabled. The smallest 5 chip is never disabled but if you have only 3 USD left and click on the 5 chip, obviously you'll bet only 3 USD. When you're out of money you can't play. You can hit "back to lobby" and add more money.
When a round begins, each player receives 2 cards and the dealer only one. If from the start a player has 21 ("natural blackjack"), that player will not see the action buttons to request a new card or to stand. The dealer starts the automatic play after all the players have finished their moves either by standing, exceeding 21 or having 21. The dealer requests a new card until it exceeds the highest valid points of a player. After the dealer finishes winners and losers are declared. If a player has a natural blackjack the payout is 3:2.
Things to improve:
- The validation for player's bankroll, as you'll see it starts in invalid mode until you type something
- Add unit testing
- Improve the AI of the dealer. Currently it asks for a card until his points are above the highest points of a player.
