BlackJack with tkinter

[menator01]

This is my go at BlackJack. It's far from finished and I will rewrite and clean the code up when everything is working.
Just wanted to share the current project.

---

I took some code snippets and smushed them together and added tkinter frame work. I feel I should give credit where credit is due and list the references. At some point I will optimize and cleanup the code adding my own style.

I did not see a rumble in the video widget so, I posted the link. Hope that's ok.

I've tried to run your app, as I've also built a Blackjack game and wanted to see how your code and game compared. I can't run your app, because of this error:

Error:
_tkinter.TclError: character U+1f0b1 is above the range (U+0000-U+FFFF) allowed by Tcl

It throws this at line 103:

Output:
line 103, in __init__
  label['text'] = f'BlackJack {Card(1, Card.Hearts).image} {Card(11,Card.Spades).image}'

It works on mine. I'm using ubuntu system. Not tried on a windows if that what you using.

This is what I have now. Can't seem to get the ace to do correct. If the total with ace as 11 if below 21 and 1 if the total would be above 21.

The first ace should have drooped to a value of 1 (well any ace that would cause it to me more than 21)

Not tried on a windows if that what you using.

No. I'm running a Linux Mint OS

Not a worry; I just thought you may want to know that your code may not be compatible with all systems.

Can't seem to get the ace to do correct.

Yes, that was a tricky one to solve for me, also.

What I did was to have a function that assigns a value of eleven to a Ace card (in fact it assigns values to any card), then, when checking the 'hand', I take a note of how many Ace cards are held, and if the total hand is greater than 21, reduce the hand value by 10 for each Ace card held. Of course, there needs to be some code that only does that in order to try and beat the hand of the other player.

Not sure of that makes any sense to you: it's always clear to the person that's doing the explaining.

This seems to work. Now I need to hide one of the dealers card and re-do the messaging.

This seems to work. Still a few bugs though.

What is the purpose of the CheckCards class? Neither of the methods on it rely on anything in the class, so both could be free functions. Not everything needs to be in a class in Python and if you want to group related things, you can put them in the same module or package.

[menator01]

No real purpose. Just the way I wrote it. I usually rewrite code several times before I'm happy with it.
