Design Choices

Code was refactored into different functions and files to minimize redundancy and maximize readability.

4 files are required to run this game: deck_of_cards.py, blackjack.py, util.py, and main.py.

• deck_of_cards.py
  • Contains the class DeckOfCards. Contains methods to intuitively manipualate a deck using functions such as shuffle() and draw().
• blackjack.py
  • Contains the class Blackjack. Contains methods that pertain to the game itself such as play_cpu_turn(), play_player_turn(), and play().
• util.py
  • Contains all functions that are not class-specific such as clear() to clear the terminal screen.
• main.py
  • Main file that needs to be run in order for the game to start.

Built With

• Python - The main programming language.
