Project $2$: Blackjack

Write a C program that simulates a game of blackjack between you and a virtual dealer. You only

need to make one of the two projects.

To simplify the game, we$$ll make $3$ changes to the rule set.

$$ Assume only one player and the dealer.

$$ Aces can ordinarily be worth $1$ or $11$ points. In our game they can only be worth $11.$

$$ Assume that ties result in the player getting their bet back.

Here$$s a detailed step by step on how your game should be played.

$1.$ Run the game with $./$blackjack$.$exe, or $/$blackjack$.$exe load with $$load$$ passed as a

command line argument to signal you want to load a previous game.

a$.$ If $$load$$ is passed, load dealer and player hands, the deck, the chips, and the

bet, then skip to step $6.$

$2.$ The player is given $1000$ chips.

$3.$ The player is asked to make a bet. They type in a number, or $0$ to make no bet and

leave the casino with their earnings.

$4.$ The player and dealer are dealt two cards each.

$5.$ If the player is dealt $21,$ they receive $1\mathrm{.}5$x their bet, a new round is immediately started.

$6.$ The player is shown their cards, current score, dealer$$s first card, and asked if they want

to hit by typing $$h$$ stay by typing $$s$$ or take a break and save the game by typing $$b$$

a$.$ Hit deals the player a card and starts a new round

b$.$ Stay ends the round

c$.$ Break saves the game in a file and exits the program $($just call exit$(0)$;$)$

$7.$ If the player has more than $21,$ round ends.

At the end of the round, if the dealer has less than $16$ points, they draw another card. Then the

round is resolved in one of the following ways.

$1.$ If both player and dealer have more than $21,$ or if they tie in any way round ends and no

chips are lost.

$2.$ If only the player has more than $21$ chips, they bust, lose the bet.

$3.$ If the dealer has more than $21$ points or less than the player, round ends, and the player

gains $2$x the bet.

$4.$ If the dealer has a higher score, the player loses their bet.
