############### Our Blackjack House Rules #####################

## The deck is unlimited in size.
## There are no jokers.
## The Jack/Queen/King all count as 10.
## The the Ace can count as 11 or 1.
## Use the following list as the deck of cards:
## cards = [11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10]
## The cards in the list have equal probability of being drawn.
## Cards are not removed from the deck as they are drawn.
## The computer is the dealer.

##################### Hints #####################

#Hint 1: Go to this website and try out the Blackjack game:
# https://games.washingtonpost.com/games/blackjack/
#Then try out the completed Blackjack project here:
# http://blackjack-final.appbrewery.repl.run

#Hint 2: Read this breakdown of program requirements:
# http://listmoz.com/view/6h34DJpvJBFVRlZfJvxF
#Then try to create your own flowchart for the program.

#Hint 3: Download and read this flow chart I've created:

#Hint 4: Create a deal_card() function that uses the List below to *return* a random card.
#11 is the Ace.
def deal_cards():
cards = [11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10]
card = cards[random.randint(0, len(cards)-1)]
return card
#Hint 5: Deal the user and computer 2 cards each using deal_card() and append().
user_cards = []
computer_cards = []
for i in range(0,2):
user_cards.append(deal_cards())
computer_cards.append(deal_cards())

print(user_cards)
print(computer_cards)
#Hint 6: Create a function called calculate_score() that takes a List of cards as input
#and returns the score.
#Look up the sum() function to help you do this.
def calculate_score(hand):
total = sum(hand)
if total == 21:
return 0
else:
return total


print(calculate_score(user_cards))
print(calculate_score(computer_cards))
#Hint 7: Inside calculate_score() check for a blackjack (a hand with only 2 cards: ace + 10) and return 0 instead of the actual score. 0 will represent a blackjack in our game.

#Hint 8: Inside calculate_score() check for an 11 (ace). If the score is already over 21, remove the 11 and replace it with a 1. You might need to look up append() and remove().

#Hint 9: Call calculate_score(). If the computer or the user has a blackjack (0) or if the user's score is over 21, then the game ends.

#Hint 10: If the game has not ended, ask the user if they want to draw another card. If yes, then use the deal_card() function to add another card to the user_cards List. If no, then the game has ended.

#Hint 11: The score will need to be rechecked with every new card drawn and the checks in Hint 9 need to be repeated until the game ends.

#Hint 12: Once the user is done, it's time to let the computer play. The computer should keep drawing cards as long as it has a score less than 17.

#Hint 13: Create a function called compare() and pass in the user_score and computer_score. If the computer and user both have the same score, then it's a draw. If the computer has a blackjack (0), then the user loses. If the user has a blackjack (0), then the user wins. If the user_score is over 21, then the user loses. If the computer_score is over 21, then the computer loses. If none of the above, then the player with the highest score wins.

#Hint 14: Ask the user if they want to restart the game. If they answer yes, clear the console and start a new game of blackjack and show the logo from art.py.

# player_card_1 = random.randint(0, len(cards))

# print(f"Your cards are now {cards[player_card_1]} and {cards[player_card_2]}.")
# if cards[player_card_1] + cards[player_card_2] > 21:
# print("You lose, dealer wins")
# elif cards[player_card_1] + cards[player_card_2] > cards[dealer_hid_card] + cards[dealer_vis_card]:
# print("You might win, dealer might lose.")

# else:

# if cards[dealer_hid_card] + cards[dealer_vis_card] > 21:
# print("You win, dealer busts")
