Blackjack wouldn't be too hard, that's a pretty good idea. Use arrays for the cards, write the program using methods, and throw in some while or for loops and you have a decent program using a bunch of concepts.

Yeah, assuming you've used arrays before this should be very easy. Use dual arrays so you have the card in one part of the array, and a boolean for weather ro not it was delt so you don't get duplicate cards.

Out of curiosity, what compiler are you using?

How's the Black Jack game working? I was on the brink of creating a better version of FreeCell today...then I started playing it.

I got a small start on it. What's slowing me down is that I am learning Java while I'm writing the program. I really wish I could just write it in C++ (but my prof says no). I haven't touched the program since Wednesday. I've just been busy with other things.

Thanks, I'm liking it so far. I'm starting to see a few of the challenges involved but I should hopefully be able to work around them.

when you say dual arrays are you speaking of 2-dimensional arrays or 2 separate regular arrays?

I'm using Java JDK 6 as my compiler.

I think he means a 2 dimensional array. I hate dealing with those. See if you can make a class and have an single dimensional array that uses a variable defined by that class. I could prove more effective if you need to associate more things with each card.

Finally!! I finished my black jack game! LOL for the 3 weeks I had to program it I only managed to find time to work on it for 3-4 days but I got it done today! I have to hand it in tomorrow.

The only problem I wasn't able to fix was that every time the player wins, it says "YOU WIN" indicating a win but it also says "A DRAW" meaning there was a draw at the same time... It doesn't affect anything else but i just can't pinpoint why it's declaring both. (if statements look ok to me so idk...)

Check your brackets and your comparison signs (>, <, ==, etc).

I'm sure i can track down where the problem is and I probably will but unfortunately not before I submit it. I had too many other things to worry about finishing so i couldn't get around to fixing the problem. It's minor, and the programming portion of this project is only worth 25% of the total mark.
