Cards and Blackjack

The instructions for both parts of the lab are given here: A Blackjack Game Program (pdf). Part 1 (The Card Class) is due Monday Oct 5, and Part 2 (The Game Algorithm) is due Monday Oct 12. Note, we have an exam on Wed, Oct 7, so plan your time accordingly.

Part 1 Deliverables

Demonstrate your Card program to the instructor or lab assistant during the lab on the due date. You will be asked to display your commented/formatted code and to run the loop that prints out all of the cards. As usual, make sure your code is commented and formatted.

There is nothing to submit for this part of the lab.

Part 2 Deliverables

To receive full credit, you need to:

1. Make sure that your Java code:

   • Is well commented, including at the top of each file, your name, lab name, program name, date, brief description of what the class does.
   • Is well formatted, i.e. proper indentation and line returns.

2. Demonstrate your program to the instructor or lab assistant during the lab on the due date. You will be asked to display your commented/formatted code and to run the code on a few inputs.

3. Submit your code as attachments to Lab 5 in Wise. Specifically, submit the following 3 Java classes:

   • The class containing the main method which contains the code to begin your game loop.
   • The Card class.
   • The BlackJackGame class.
