thx, it runs now, but im getting errors for the part of code that adds a card to the player's hand.

in Dealer class:

if(i < 2){
dealPlayer(newCard);
}
else{
dealDealer(newCard);
---------------
public void addDealerCard(Card card){
dealerHand[countDealer] = card;
countDealer++;
System.out.println("Dealers card: " + dealerHand[countDealer].getCard());
}
public void dealDealer(Card card){
dealer.addDealerCard(card);
}
public void dealPlayer(Card card){
player.addPlayerCard(card);
}
--------------------------
in Player class:
Card[] playerHand = new Card[2];
int count = 0;

//method to add a card to the player's hand
public void addPlayerCard(Card card){
playerHand[count] = card;
count++;
-----------------------------

help is very appreciated, i donate fg

You should posts the errors you are getting, as well as your entire code in code tags, as the source for errors can lie in every line of your code.

is there something wrong in this code that would make it so that it is always true that i = 0? i'm trying to make it so that after i deal one card, it would add 1 to i for all variables i in two methods for the class.
edit: nvm pretty sure that it should work, but my problem lies with me not using my shuffleDeck method which assigns values to the deck other than private int[] deck = new int [51];.

ur inbox full again ;(

not sure where you were referring to for your last message
You're declaring a Dealer dealer as a field, but this is null and is unused. What you probably meant was 'this.dealerHandValue'.

so help to fix it would be very much appreciated. have till wed. to fix error ;o

nvm, got it fixed :). just had to remove Dealer dealer; , and change dealer.dealerHandValue; to dealerHandValue;

now i just have to figure out...change it back to use shuffle. and how to auto set x = 0 so that the player can't hit any more cards once past 21, instead of saying 'you've busted, please enter 0'.

got it so that shuffle is working, have to try and fix making the scanner auto set to 0 if the player busts ( hand value > 21), or if there are more than 5 cards in hand..

and i think i got that finished

it is all starting to make sense...i like this now.

I could use some help with this next week's project about adding my blackjack code into a new project, so if anyone can help - pls pm.

I have used netbeans to code a game of blackjack which works fine, now I need to add it to a project called GameConsole - which will house multiple games. i have to make an abstract class Game. then i have to 'use/think interfaces' to allow GameConsole to call a method to take an object that is 'playable'.

overall : when GameConsole is run, a console menu will pop up showing what games are available to play. for now, it's just blackjack, so that's the only option that will be available. then by choosing blackjack, it will run blackjack.

PM please if you can help, will donate

could still use help with this. atm im trying to figure out 1. why i'm getting errors:



and 2. about abstract classes : I have an abstract class Game, and a class called BlackJack. BlackJack extends Game. in my GameConsole class, I have Game blackjack = new BlackJack(); how do i call methods from the BlackJack class?

or if i try:


i get error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: BlackJack.playGame()V
