Blackjack Console Game

This project is a console-based Blackjack game developed in Java. It was originally a lab assignment for the course COE318 at Toronto Metropolitan University. The project uses Maven as its build and dependency management tool.

Features

• A fully functional Blackjack game playable through the terminal.
• Core game logic implemented in the BlackjackGame class.
• A card-handling system, including a Card and CardPile class for deck and hand management.
• A simple user interface provided by the SimpleUI class to interact with the game.
• Gameplay includes turn-based mechanics, scoring rules, and proper game state management.
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles with a clear separation between core game logic and user interface components.

• com.game.core: Contains the core logic of the game.
  • BlackjackGame.java: Handles the game state, rules, and turn management.
  • Card.java: Represents an individual card with rank, suit, and visibility.

• com.game.ui: Manages user interaction with the game.
  • SimpleUI.java: Implements the user interface to display game status and handle player input.
  • UserInterface.java: Interface defining UI functions.
• com.game.main: Contains the main entry point for running the game.
  • Main.java: Orchestrates the game's lifecycle and user interaction.

Requirements

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or later
• Apache Maven 3.6 or later
