Run locally

This bot can be run locally off a personal computer or server:

Alternatively, it can be deployed on heroku's cloud platform using the Procfile included.

How to play

The following commands are supported by the Blackjack bot:

dealer play
dealer hit
dealer stay

play starts the game with the dealer drawing two cards for themself and the player. The dealer will hide one of their cards until it is time to reveal the cards. The player can then decide to hit inorder to draw another card or stand and allow the dealer to reveal their cards. If the player's point score of their hand exceeds 21 they bust, if they get 21 it's a Blackjack and they win, or if its below 21 and the player stands the dealer will reveal their cards. The dealer will try to win in the same way attempting to hit until their score is higher than the player or they bust.
