The provided code is a complete implementation of a Matatu game in C#. The main logic resides in the Program class, which handles the game flow, player interactions, and checks for game-ending conditions. The Logic class contains methods to handle game rules, computer player strategies, and scoring. The Player class manages the player's hand of cards and interactions with the deck.

-
Game Initialization:
- The game starts with a welcome message and prompts the user to start or exit.
- A deck of cards is created and shuffled.
- Players (human and computer) draw their initial cards.
-
Game Loop:
- The game continues until either player or computer has no cards left or the game is manually stopped.
- Players take turns playing cards, drawing cards, or ending the game.
- The computer follows specific strategies to play its cards.
-
Card Play Logic:
- Players can play a card if it matches the suit or value of the top card on the discard pile.
- Special cards (e.g., Ace, Jack, Eight) have specific rules, such as changing the current suit or skipping turns.
- The computer evaluates its hand to choose the best move based on the current game state.
-
Game End and Scoring:
- The game ends when a player has no cards left or a seven is played.
- Scores are calculated based on the cards remaining in each player's hand.
- The results are displayed, indicating the winner or if the game is a tie.
-
Code Readability:
- Use consistent naming conventions (e.g., method names should be camelCase).
- Add comments to explain complex logic, especially in the
Logicclass.
-
Modularity:
- Separate the game logic from the user interface for better maintainability.
- Consider creating separate classes for different card types and their behaviors.
-
Error Handling:
- Add input validation to handle invalid inputs from the user.
- Ensure that the game gracefully handles unexpected errors or edge cases.
-
Enhancements:
- Implement a more sophisticated AI for the computer player.
- Add a graphical user interface (GUI) for a better user experience.
- Include additional game features or variations.
