Objective

Build an app that plays a game with drawing cards. The goal of the game is to get as close to 30 as possible without going over. If the player gets 30, they win. If they go over 30, they lose. The player can chose to stop before they get to the 30 and end the game early so they don't go over.

Organization

Your app should have a Tab Bar Controller that manages two View Controllers, a View Controller for playing the game, and another View Controller for viewing past games.

Your Game View Controller should have:

• A collection view to store the cards (both their image and their value in the game)
• A label displaying the current value of their hand
• A label with the instructions
• A button to draw a card
• A button to stop drawing cards and end the game

Your History View Controller should have:

• A table view that displays all the previous hands
• A button that resets the stored games

Your History View Controller's Table View should have:

• A collection view to store the cards (both their image and their value in the game)
• A label displaying the current value of their hand

For full credit:

• You must use a .xib file for your collection view cell.
• Your persistance should happen using the File Manager

Game Rules

• Pressing "Draw a Card" should draw a card from the deck into your hand.
• The values of cards are as follows

Card Name	Card Value
Two	2
Three	3
Four	4
Five	5
Six	6
Seven	7
Eight	8
Nine	9
Ten	10
Jack	10
Queen	10
King	10
Ace	11

• After the player draws a card, the game should add it to their current hand value
• If their current hand value is 30, display a victory message
• If their current hand value is greater than 30, display a defeat message
• If their current hand value is less than 30, they can either chose to end the game, or draw more cards. If they end the game, display a message showing how far they were away from 30. Otherwise, they can continue drawing more cards until they win by hitting 30, lose by going over 30 or chose to stop drawing cards.

Endpoints

You do not need to manage the deck of cards yourself. Use the deck of cards API to facilitate drawing cards:

There are two endpoints you will need:

Get a new deck of cards

https://deckofcardsapi.com/api/deck/new/shuffle/?deck_count=6

Draw one card from your deck

https://deckofcardsapi.com/api/deck/<<deck_id>>/draw/?count=1

Cards have an image which can be found in their "image" property
