CPP Blackjack Game

Description

CPP Blackjack is a console-based simulation of the classic Blackjack card game. It allows users to simulate multiple players in a game, each trying to achieve the best possible hand without exceeding a score of 21. This project was developed as part of an exam submission, showcasing object-oriented programming principles and the use of C++ for game development.

Features

• Simulate multiple players in a game.
• Automatic calculation of hand values, including handling of Aces as 1 or 11.
• Automatic decision-making for drawing additional cards.
• Evaluation of player scores to determine winners, ties, and busts.
• Manual inclusion of GoogleTest in the build directory due to linking issues.

Installation

To compile and run the project, you will need g++, cmake, and googletest installed. Note that GoogleTest was manually downloaded and included in the build/_deps directory due to issues with linking. I removed the build folder for my online upload of this, if you would like to run my project the way I currently have it programmed, contact me or create an issue for the correct build folder to run this program. Follow these steps to set up the project:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open a terminal in the root directory of the project.
3. Create a build directory: mkdir build
4. Run CMake to configure the project: cmake -S . -B build
5. Compile the project: cmake --build build

The compiled binaries will be located in the build/app and build/tests directories.

Usage

To run the game simulation, execute the following command from the terminal:

./build/app/blackjack

To run the unit tests, execute:

./build/tests/blackjacktests
