This is the old fashioned simple version of the card game 21 where there is no betting, just hits to choose a card to try to get a
higher number than the computer. If you get past 21 you lose. You can play as many games as you wish and it tallies up how many
games you won and the computer won, and also how many ties.
There are no extra files needed for this, it makes the cards large by using POINT.
Back in the 1990's I made a text version of this game with an online friend, who made ASCII graphic cards. This time I decided
to go all out and make animated shuffling of graphical cards. The cards themselves are not real looking because it would be
too much work to place each symbol on the card in the right place, and make half of them upside-down, like a real deck.
But I think you will have fun with this. This game took me longer than I expected (4 or 5 days) but it was a real challenge for me.
It is your turn when the game starts out. Have fun!
(Code deleted, scroll down for the newest update.)
I just made it a little harder with the computer hitting every time he is less than yours and not just stopping above a certain number.

@bplus did you get a chance to try this little game? I understand if you don't like it, it's a bit odd in the way it switches back and forth to the computer. But I can take some criticism. The game has been parked here for a week with no replies, so I'm guessing not many people like it. But I understand. At least I figured out how to make generic-looking cards.

_Title "minimum BlackJack" 'B+ started from Bluatigro Blackjack fix B+ mod at JB 2019-06-05
' "Cards": Suits are not displayed, X counts as 10 as do J, Q, K designate Jack, Queen, King. Ace designated by A is 1 | 11.
' Rules at this house:
' Since this is one on one, Player against Dealer, Player gets all his cards first and plays out hand.
' If Player is not busted, dealer will play to match or beat Player's hand or bust.
' With ties Dealer wins but a Player's Blackjack will immediately pay double.
