JDK >= 8 installed - JAVA_HOME - location of a JDK home dir
In Windows: Run: ./mvnw.cmd clean install In Linux: Run: ./mvnw clean install (Because I don't know on what machines the project will be built I've added maven wrapper files, also I've taken java 8 as a base)
From the project root, run: java -jar command-line-blackjack-shell/target/command-line-blackjack-shell-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
and follow the instructions.
For every command, you can type "help command-name" to see the manual, example: "help enter".
There is no 1-2-3 options or Y-N options to select at each step, please remember you have to type your commands in full words as requested by standard outputs.
The application supports TAB completion almost everywhere possible. So if there is an echo command and the user presses e, c, TAB then echo will appear. Should there be several commands that start with ec, then the user will be prompted to choose (using TAB or Shift+TAB to navigate, and ENTER for selection.) Notable shortcuts include Ctrl+r to perform a reverse search, Ctrl+a and Ctrl+e to move to beginning and end of line respectively or Esc f and Esc b to move forward (resp. backward) one word at a time.
I recommend you have your terminal in full screen mode for the cards are displayed in ascii-art. Also, colors work in Linux and Mac terminals but not in Windows.
- multiplayer interface could be improved: at the end of the game player 1 only has 3 seconds to see his score before player 2's scores appear
- robotplayer is not implemented: it could be done with several easy/hard/expert modes using blackjack strategies, but it would have taken a couple more hours. I described how to do it in ModesShellComponent.java
