//Goal of the Game The Goal is to have your player’s card count total at or as close to “21” as possible. In the end, the participant (dealer included) with the highest “total” under 21 wins the round.

// steps taken during rounds Step one: Players place wager (stretch)

Step two: Dealer deals cards. 1 card face up, to each player, one card face down to self, another card face up to each player, one card face up to self. Players can see 2 cards of each player, and all but 1 of the dealer’s cards

Step Three: players play their hands (from left to right).

Player options post deal:

stand - Player holds at their current card value and hands their turn over to the dealer (when you're satisfied with your hand, call stand) hit - take another card

//outlying conditionals conditionals:

If a player or the dealer has a “blackjack” (a face card and an ace equating to 21 on their first two cards) the round ends immidiately.

a tie between player and dealer is a “push.” Player recieves their original bet back but with no winnings.

If all players “bust” the dealer automatically wins & vice versus.

MVP's: // core functionality of the game Core functions of the game include: Having a deck that accounts for all 52 cards present,

randomize cards that are pulled from deck

pulling from that deck to a dealer's hand and the player's hand(s)

sum of two cards per hand

comparing the results between the dealer and player

allow for post -deal options (stand, hit, etc...)

adding a reset or 'new round' button to restack and shuffle the deck before starting over.

Stretch Goals: // option to account ace as an '11' or a '1',

account for more than one player at the same time:

allow for virtual "bets" within the game. (give stakes to each hand)

account for the cards on the table when pulling from the deck. (don't just have a '2' pull, but have the '2 of hearts' pulled, so after that card is dealth there's only 51 more options in the index, as opposed to all 52).

(stretch) ensure that the deck takes into account the cards already dealt so we don't potentially have more than four cards of each value in the playing field at any given time.

(stretch) immplement a measure where, once the player is done, the dealer won't stop if they're still losing. (ex. if the player holds at '20' the dealer won't stop at 19, but will go for the 20/21 because they already know they'll lose otherwise)
