Blackjack Game Using Python With Source
Introduction :
Blackjack, also known as 21, is a popular card game that combines strategy and luck. In this blog post, we will walk through the creation of a simple Blackjack game using Python, featuring a graphical user interface (GUI). The game involves a deck of cards, where players aim to beat the dealer by getting a hand value as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it. This project utilizes the simplegui module for GUI development and random for shuffling the deck. Our Blackjack game will cover the essential aspects of gameplay, including dealing cards, handling player actions (hit or stand), and determining the winner
Required Modules or Packages :
To build this Blackjack game, you’ll need the following modules:
● simplegui: A GUI library used for drawing and handling events.
● random:Amodule to shuffle the deck of cards.
To install these packages, use the following command:
pip install simplegui
How to Run the Code :-
Clone the Repository (if applicable):
git clone [repository link]
Navigate to the Project Directory:
cd [project-directory]
Install the Required Packages:
pip install simplegui
Run the Main Script:
python blackjack.py
Code Explanation :-
Classes
● CardClass: Represents a single card with a rank, color, and exposed state. It has methods to expose or hide the card and to retrieve its rank and color.
class Card:
def __init__(self, rank, color, exposed=True):
self.rank = rank
self.color = color
self.exposed = exposed
def __str__(self):
return f"Rank is {self.rank}, Color is {self.color}, exposed
is {self.exposed}"
def get_rank(self):
return self.rank
def get_color(self):
return self.color
def is_exposed(self):
return self.exposed
def expose_it(self):
self.exposed = True
def hide_it(self):
self.exposed = False
DeckClass: Represents a deck of cards. It initializes with a full deck, shuffles it, and
provides methods to deal cards
class Deck:
def __init__(self):
self.cards = [Card(rank, color) for color in COLORS for rank
in RANKS]
random.shuffle(self.cards)
def __str__(self):
return ''.join(str(card) for card in self.cards)
def get_one_card(self):
return self.cards.pop()
def get_all_cards(self):
return self.cards
HandClass: Represents a hand of cards. It calculates the total value of the hand, adding or hiding cards as needed
class Hand:
def __init__(self):
self.cards = []
def __str__(self):
return ''.join(str(card) for card in self.cards)
def get_sum(self):
sum_cards = sum(VALUES[card.get_rank()] for card in
self.cards)
has_ace = any(card.get_rank() == 'A' for card in self.cards)
if has_ace and sum_cards + 10 <= 21:
return sum_cards + 10, sum_cards
return sum_cards, sum_cards
def add_one_card(self, deck):
self.cards.append(deck.get_one_card())
def hide_one_card(self, index):
self.cards[index].hide_it()
def expose_one_card(self, index):
self.cards[index].expose_it()
def get_all_cards(self):
return self.cards
