Blackjack

Inspiration

My team and I weren't originally sure what program to design, we threw around some ideas and settled upon a simple version of a popular poker game.

What it does

This program is a simple application that emulates games of Blackjack in which you are the player and the cpu is the dealer

How I built it

My team and I used the Java programming language to write and implement the classes and algorithms in this program; we made use of one- and two-dimensional arrays for the storage of cards and hands, loops for the iteration of hands, and switch and if-else statements for the determination of outcomes

Challenges I ran into

Some challenges my team and I ran into include: a short amount of time, a meager amount of programming knowledge and experience, and challenging logic/probabilities

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Some major accomplishments are the utilization of Netbeans to create a reasonable UI, consideration of even the smallest of probabilities in writing the algorithms of this program, and the ability to successfully integrate an understanding of complex logic into a program

What I learned

The major learning points of this project involve the development of UI, the importance of teamwork, and how to successfully complement the abilities of each teammate

What's next for Blackjack

What's next? The opportunity exists to add more complicated rules of the game, add more players, and further develop the UI

Note: The number converter classes on my GitHub are part of a back-up program in the event that our Blackjack program did not succeed. The numberConverter1.java file is the main method that implements the class and methods in the numberConverter2.java files. While there are still some bugs in this one, it was a secondary project spearheaded by our good friend Yuantai Pan as he was unable to be here for more than a couple of hours.

Created by

I came up with some of the
logic for the code, I was
intimidated at how complex
the implementation of the logic
would be, but eventually
contributed in ensuring
successful implementation of
the logic into code, removed
logical errors and tested
possible outcomes. Also
contributed by presentation of the project.

Mukarram Faridi
Worked mostly in debugging of bugs and logic of the program itself, ensuring that it follows the rules of BlackJack. Tested some of the methods for flaws and edge/special case handling.

Stanley T Wijaya
Helped with optimising the logic and the algorithm. Also helped with the graphic user interface of the game by implementing Netbeans.

Preet Shah
Worked on the main logic of creating the game part of Blackjack and helped in finding syntax and logical error in the code. Also helped in giving example on the actual gameplay by showing different cases and scenarios.

Sanchit Sethi
I initially gave the idea of Blackjack, and worked alone for a back-up project for the team,, which is a number converter from base 2 through 16.

Yuantai Pan
General team management, main code writer (mostly in the syntax and organization), submission of project as a whole.
