This project is a rendition of the War card game built exclusively with JavaScript and played in the browser console! The obejctive of this project was to transform War game logic into lines of code and better understand programmatic thinking and Object Oriented Programming.
Defined below are:
- Rules of the game
- How to play
The goal is to be the first player to win all 52 cards
The deck is divided evenly, with each player receiving 26 cards, dealt one at a time, face down. Anyone may deal first. Each player places their stack of cards face down, in front of them.
Each player turns up a card at the same time and the player with the higher card takes both cards and puts them, face down, on the bottom of his stack.
If the cards are the same rank, it is War. Each player turns up three cards face down and one card face up. The player with the higher cards takes both piles (10 cards). If the turned-up cards are again the same rank, each player places another three cards face down and turns another card face up. The player with the higher card takes all 18 cards, and so on.
The game ends when one player has won all the cards.
