Description
This was a project I did for C# Programming School

Destined to replace those oh-too-flashy Black Jack derivatives that have come out over the years, this minimalist implementation is a breath of fresh air! -- PC Magazine.

What!  This program is FREE!??  A crime, that's what it is!  Someone slap the developer around until he starts showing some sense and charging for this gem of genius! -- Gamasutra



Features


+ a smart-ass card Dealer
+ a functional card Class in the source code
+ ability to place bets of differing amounts based upon the first card you're dealt
+ intuitive GUI
+ source code: download link

Planned Features

+ I may add option for Vegas casino music
+ May add option to change starting Max cash available to player
+ Add ability to whip out a pistol and waste the smart-ass Dealer
+ An option for the Dealer to cheat by using a marked deck of playing cards.

I would appreciate suggestions for future features of the program.

Usage

Installation

Download and run the Setup installer. Alternatively, download the ZIP file and extract BlackJack.exe wherever you wish. Keep the directory structure intact when unzipping.  Run the program.

Using the Application

The GUI is super-intuitive.

Uninstallation

Use the uninstall Program Files menuitem; or, if you didn't use the setup installer, just delete the extracted file.

No registry entries or INI files are written by the Black Jack program itself.

Known Issues

None.
