ADVANCED HIGHER COMPUTING
Hi I have an Advanced computing project in soon and have to have code a game within this. I am doing blackjack and am struggling to figure out how to code any of it and was wondering if there was anyone that could help

Re: ADVANCED HIGHER COMPUTING
Welcome.
Please come down to lower case. Your project may be advanced but is far from "higher" computing.
Start your project, show us your code and your problems with it. Then you certainly will get a lot of help here.

Well:struggling to figure out how to code any of it
1. No one round these parts is going to do your course work for you.
2. Get into all the examples on the LiveCode website and start learning.

Hi.
And do not spend too much time worrying about making pretty "cards", like jacks snd sevens. That is a project in and of itself, and you will likely use some other method to "display" each hand.
For example, think about a "hand" as a string of values, perhaps displayed in a field, like "7,10" which can be thought of as a "7" and any of a "10, jack, queen or king.
You will have to "deal" these values from those stored in a "deck" of values, and then figure out a way to "play" them. Do you see? You need to think about how you will set up this process and work it through each "deal".
This will be a really fun project, and not too difficult once you know the fundamentals of LiveCode. But you need to have those fundamentals, and then you will get all the help you need right here.
