Blackjack Simulation Program

Copyright (c) 2004, Ed Thomson

Description:

This is a very basic console-based blackjack simulation program.  The game

of blackjack is described at http://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack.

The deal style is "American Blackjack" - after a round of betting, the

deal goes around the table such that players and dealer receive two cards.

The player cards are dealt face-up, the dealer receives one card face up

and one card face down.  Surrender is not allowed.

To play interactively, just run the program, eg:

  ./blackjack

To play the program to analyze a specific playing strategy, run:

  ./blackjack 

  Currently implemented strategies are:

	basic - "basic" strategy - http://wizardsofodds.com/games/blackjack

	cardcount - Simple Tens Counting Strategy - simple card counting

				http://www.allaboutblackjack.com/cardcounting.html

	dealer - always hit until soft 17

	interactive - displays cards, prompts for play on the console

  When using a non-interactive strategy, the software will dump a

  total of statistics every 25,000 hands.  (It will display a win

  percentage for every possible initial player hand / dealer hand,

  as well as the current bankroll.)  An 80x40 line terminal is

  recommended.

Standard Vegas Blackjack rules apply, as:

- A 6 deck shoe is used for dealing cards.

- The object is to have a higher score than the dealer - each face card 

  (Jack, Queen, King) is worth 10, each Ace is worth 1 or 11, whichever

  most benefits the hand.

- Splitting Aces results in exactly one card per hand.

- Double after split is allowed.

- Blackjack on deal (a deal of 21 points -- Ace + face card or 10) pays

  the player 3:2.

- Insurance pays 2:1 and must be exactly 1/2 the players original bet.

Compilation:

GNU make is required.  Type 'make' in this directory to compile.

An executable named 'blackjack' will be created.

Platforms:

Tested under:  Windows XP Pro, VisualStudio.NET 2003

               Windows 2000, VisualStudio 6.0

               Linux 2.4.25, glibc 2.2.5, g++ 2.95

It is presumed to work under any unix platform with g++ and should work

under any standards-compliant C++ platform with minimal changes.
