Re: Show HN: Blackjack Break, a minimal quick-play blackjack game
#2From the about page: Towards the end of 2017, I found myself wanting to play a quick game of something while I was working. That something turned out to be blackjack. I tried a few web-based games and downloaded a bunch to my phone. All of them either felt kinda scammy, were hard to look at, or just played way too slow. I like making things, so I made Blackjack Break. I hope it's a fun diversion for you like it is for me.

#3Very cool. Addictive.

#4Nice game. Would be nice to know when the deck gets shuffled for card counting purposes :)

I think it does that. I received a "(shuffled)" indicator after a deal several hands in.

#7Very nice. Any plans on open-sourcing this? I'm a newbie at blackjack and have been wanting to build a similarly minimalistic version adding a "strategy feedback" mode to help me memorize basic strategies.

#8Is this open source? I kinda want to try training a Blackjack AI, and the clean minimal design for here could help if I try giving the game state to the AI as an image.
Also it would be fun to play with data of everyone's games if you're collecting them.

I've got a simple blackjack program[1] in bash that I occasionally play; it's ugly code, but it's pretty straightforward.
More directly, I wrote (perl) a blackjack tester[2] to quiz myself, as well as a simple output of basic strategy[3]. I haven't touched these in half a decade, but seem to work fine!

3: https://github.com/Amorymeltzer/sandbox/blob/master/basic_st... but I recommend running it as perl basic_strategy.pl | awk '{printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9, $10, $11;}'` for nicer output
