This project is a Java-based implementation of the popular casino card game, Blackjack. The game uses the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, and it allows players to bet, hit, stand, and save their progress to continue later.
- Play with a standard 52-card deck.
- Start with an initial balance of 1000 coins.
- Place bets ranging from 10 coins to an all-in.
- Save and load game progress using a local JSON file.
- Java SE 17 or later
- Clone the repository or download the source code.
- Import the project into your favorite Java IDE (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse).
- Add the Gson library to the project: https://github.com/google/gson
- Compile and run the
Mainclass to start the game.
- Run the application.
- Enter your name to create a new game or continue with a saved game.
- Place your bet for each round (minimum: 10 coins).
- Two cards will be dealt to both you and the dealer.
- Choose to hit (receive more cards) or stand (stop receiving cards).
- The dealer will play their turn, hitting until they reach 17 or more.
- The round winner will be determined based on the hand values.
- If you run out of coins, the game will end.
The game progress is automatically saved to a local JSON file named game_save.json. When you run the application, it will load the saved game if the file exists. If you want to start a new game, delete or rename the game_save.json file.
