##About the project... ###technologies used

• html5: Structure
• css3: Style
• javascript: Function
• jquery: DOM manipulation
• google fonts: import font
• git: version control
• gitHub: remote version control and hosting
• html validator (html5.validator.nu): check validity of html
• css validator (jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/): check validity of css

###approach taken

1. Write user stories to define MVP
2. Meet MVP with jquery soup
3. Refactor into model and view objects
4. Add betting

###installation instructions

1. Written and tested in Chrome - will likely need more work for cross-browser compatibility

###unsolved problems

1. Will allow player to start a hand if an attempt to bet has been made. Should actually require a bet to be made
2. No payout multipliers
3. Should have a player constructor rather than holding properties in the model (first step toward multiplayer)
4. Dealer's hole card not actually hidden, text-color just changed to white (problems with alignment when hidding elements)
5. Needs delay as cards are delt (or not)
6. Could improve aesthetics
