Game: Indian Poker
Rules: There are two players: the user and the computer. The user and the computer each gets a separate deck of 10 cards ranging from 1 to 10, and the players get 20 chips each. One card each from the two decks are randomly chosen. The user can see the computer's card, but cannot see user's own card. The user will try to guess if user card is higher or lower than the computer's, and user can choose the number of chips user will bet accordingly. The minimum bet is 1 chip. Each player can either bet higher than the other's bet, bet the same amount, or choose to give up. If the players bet the same amount, the cards will be open to both players and the player with the higher number card will be the winner. The winner of the round will win all the chips from the round. If the two cards are eqiuvalent and there is no winner, the chips from that round will be added to the next round's bet. If the player bets more than the other's bet, then the round continues, and the other player gets the choice to either bet more, bet the same amount, or give up. If the player decides to give up, then the player loses all the previous bets, regardless of the result of the cards(except for when the player's card turns out to be 10). If there were no previous bets, then the player will lose 1 chip. If the players' card turns out to be 10, then the player loses 10 additional chips. The rounds continue until one of the players have no chips left or until the game has reached the final round (round 10).

List of features
- Random generator of ten cards for each player’s deck (from 1 ~ 10) (1) generation of numbers from 1 to 10 and randomly shuffle their order in an array
- Storing cards used into an array (2) use an array to keep track of the cards randomly generated in previous rounds
- Store the each round's play record to the vector. The play log includes each round's winner, the user's and computer's card, and the number of user's and computer's chips. The log record grows in size as needed when each round proceeds. (3) dynamic memory management
- Saving and loading the user's play record (to save and load the playing record after all 10 rounds). The playing record includes final winner, final user's chips and final computer's chips (4) file input/output
- The main function file calls the computer betting algorithm function file (5) program codes in multiple files
- Header file, Makefile for automating compiling process (5) program codes in multiple files
-
no non-standard C/C++ libraries are used.

- Problem Statement 1)why we chose Indian Poker as our topic: -We chose Indian Poker as our topic because it is a well-known poker game involving generation of random decks and dynamic programming using vector. -Creating a text-based Indian Poker game requires the program to use all 5 requirements of the project, and it is an easy game to understand and enjoy. 2)scope of the project: -Indian Poker is a game in which the user plays against the computer to earn more chips until the end of 10 rounds. -Indian Poker involves two .cpp files: the main function, which is the program of the game flow, and the algorithm function, which decides how many chips the computer will bet in its turn. -The play records of games are saved in a file automatically if the user chooses to save it, and the records can be accessed if the user wants to.
