   blackjack in c++
  I am programming a blackjack game in c++, I am unsure of how to begin?   
  Do you know how to program in C++? Do you know how to play blackjack?   ;  I know how to play blackjack, would poker be easior?   ;  Assuming you know the answers to those two questions, perhaps just write out some pseudo code for how it should work.Grab a deck of cardsAsk who wants to playShuffle the deckDeal out 2 cards to each player.Ask each player whether they wish to hit, stay, etc.That sort of thing.Once you have some pseudo code down, you can start building up a game loop for it with the comments. From there you should have an idea of what classes you need. Such as a Player class, a Card class, etc.   ;Quote:Original post by phil67rpgI know how to play blackjack, would poker be easior?No definitely not. More cards in the hand, have to compare various poker hands and such.I did one of Euchre last fall, that was kind of rough, but a good experience. Really needs refactoring.   ;  ok then black jack it is. can I use oop technique? such as classes?   ;  Yep. Thats basically what I was suggesting. Think about the elements of game, and how each part might have properties, or interactions with it to develop your classes. Thinking of the basic flow of the game with pseudo code helps as well.A simple RPG for instance would beIntroduce the player to the gameList standard instructions    Ask user for a command    Process command, and display responseIf the game is not over, ask again otherwise end the game.   ;  cool, any good sites for brushing up in my oop commands and classes.   ;  What do you know about C++ programming? A good indicator would be to tell us the most complicated program you have made to date. We need to get an indication of your skill before we can make any real recommendations.   ;  cplusplus.com has some good stuff on it. Im personally thinking of buying this book, to learn a bit more of OOP with C++, as my main background is Java from school.However, it would be a good idea to post what you are familiar with now, might give us a better idea of where to point you.
