Dice Jack

Source Code

Made in 2 days as a mini-project for a course. Used as a way to get to grips with windows forms and learn some Visual Basic .NET. Just so happens to also be the first game of mine with a computer controlled player.

Rules

• The goal is to get as close to 21 points without going over
• There is a Player and a Dealer
• Each contestant has 2 dice
• The player goes first
• Each dice spot is worth 2 points
• If either the player or dealer goes over 21, they lose the game
• After the first roll, if the player has not gone bust, they can choose to 'stand' or 'hit'
• If they 'hit', the dice are rolled again and the player can choose to add the points of either die or the total of both dice
• The player must add a score after hitting, even if it means they will go 'bust'
• In the event of a tie, the game goes to the dealer
