Question

Previously in this chapter you saw the card_dealer.py program that simulates cards being dealt from a deck. Enhance the program so it simulates a simplified version of the game of Blackjack between two virtual players. The cards have the following values: • Numeric cards are assigned the value they have printed on them. For example, the value of the 2 of spades is 2, and the value of the 5 of diamonds is 5. • Jacks, queens, and kings are valued at 10. • Aces are valued at 1 or 11, depending on the player’s choice. The program should deal cards to each player until one player’s hand is worth more than 21 points. When that happens, the other player is the winner. (It is possible that both players’ hands will simultaneously exceed 21 points, in which case neither player wins.) The program should repeat until all the cards have been dealt from the deck. If a player is dealt an ace, the program should decide the value of the card according to the following rule: The ace will be worth 11 points, unless that makes the player’s hand exceed 21 points. In that case, the ace will be worth 1 point.

The code I'm using:

deck = {'Ace of Spades':1, '2 of Spades':2, '3 of Spades':3,
'4 of Spades':4, '5 of Spades':5, '6 of Spades':6,
'7 of Spades':7, '8 of Spades':8, '9 of Spades':9,
'10 of Spades':10, 'Jack of Spades':10,
'Queen of Spades':10, 'King of Spades': 10,
  
'Ace of Hearts':1, '2 of Hearts':2, '3 of Hearts':3,
'4 of Hearts':4, '5 of Hearts':5, '6 of Hearts':6,
'7 of Hearts':7, '8 of Hearts':8, '9 of Hearts':9,
'10 of Hearts':10, 'Jack of Hearts':10,
'Queen of Hearts':10, 'King of Hearts': 10,
  
'Ace of Clubs':1, '2 of Clubs':2, '3 of Clubs':3,
'4 of Clubs':4, '5 of Clubs':5, '6 of Clubs':6,
'7 of Clubs':7, '8 of Clubs':8, '9 of Clubs':9,
'10 of Clubs':10, 'Jack of Clubs':10,
'Queen of Clubs':10, 'King of Clubs': 10,
  
'Ace of Diamonds':1, '2 of Diamonds':2, '3 of Diamonds':3,
'4 of Diamonds':4, '5 of Diamonds':5, '6 of Diamonds':6,
'7 of Diamonds':7, '8 of Diamonds':8, '9 of Diamonds':9,
'10 of Diamonds':10, 'Jack of Diamonds':10,
'Queen of Diamonds':10, 'King of Diamonds': 10
}

hand1_value = 0
hand2_value = 0

while(True):
if(hand1_value < 22 and hand2_value < 22):
card1, value1 = deck.popitem()
print("Player 1 was dealt of %s "%card1)
hand1_value += value1
  
card2, value2 = deck.popitem()
print("Player 2 was dealt of %s"%card2)
hand2_value += value2
  
print(" ")
else:
if(hand1_value < hand2_value):
print("Player 1 wins.")
else:
print("Player 2 wins.")
break

When I program this, I get an output of this, is this the correct output? I get the same output every time because it doesn't allow me to type in any options to get different solution.

Explanation / Answer

Your blackjack logic seems to be correct. The only problems I found in this code are:

Please change your code to accommodate changes for above mentioned issues. After that your code should work as expected.
