CSCI 1301 Lab 7

Playing Cards v1

For Lab 7, you'll use the ability to recognize playing cards as we did in class (Exercise P5.2 on p. 222) and extend it to a basis for a game (blackjack or poker).

• Instead of an application, make the program an applet (extend applet and use the init() method or constructor instead of main() method)
• Create a colorful Web page that has the applet centered on the screen in a small box (100x100) - the popup windows will run in front
• Instead of a single card, take two cards from user input.
• State the names of the two cards.
• Test to see whether the two cards are a "pair" (have the same face).
• Test to see whether the two cards constitute a "blackjack" (sum = 21: i.e. AS, 10D or QH, AC, for example)
• Show a popup (message dialog) declaring the pair or blackjack
• OPTIONAL: Give the Blackjack value of the hand (2D, JH would be 12 total, etc.) if it's not a blackjack (5 pts. extra credit)
