BlackJackDifficulty level: Easy/intermidiateBasic rules: BlackJack is a card game, where the player plays against a dealer with the goal of getting a higer score than the dealer and on the same time not going over 21. Ace counts as one or 11 all picture cards count as 10 the remaining cards are worth the their respective face values. Description: BlackJack is fairly automated and thus should not pose too big a hassle, the player decides when to stop getting anymore cards as he sees fit so long the sum of the cards are not more than 21. The dealer (i.e. the AI) has some very defined guidelines on when to hit and when to stand. The dealer has to stand when on 17 or above. All there is left is to see who (the player or the dealer) has the highest score without going over 21. There are more to it such as splitting pairs, doubling down and insurence. Of these rules splitting should be the toughest as it will require the player to play more than one hand. The other two rules are can be done with some side bets. The game should be made to run in a command prompt. Therefore this is mostly an excersice in control flow, and should make a good first game tutorial.

Hence this ought to be a good progression from BlackJack because the problem in hand is mostly about implementing the GUI. |
