Blackjack Updated

Version 2.0.1 of Blackjack has been added to the site. The changes include adding a "Double" button for slightly more realistic game play, replacing the color indication of the winner with a small text in the margin, removing the help menu till I get a more sophisticated version implemented, and updating the betting so you can no longer bet money you don't have. None of these are real earth shattering, but put together I felt that they were enough to warrant an upload to the site.

The reason the help menu was removed was because it was over simplified. If the player had 15 or under it said hit, otherwise it said stay. With the addition of the Double option this was no longer adequate. I am currently working on translating the basic odds table for blackjack into an algorithm that I can use to make the recommendations more useful to the player.

I have one suit (Spades) finish in my deck of cards that I am creating. Along with creating 3 more suits of cards so I can have a full deck of my own creation, I am working on adding the finished suit into the game. If the ideas in my mind work out then expect a BIG update to blackjack very soon.

I wanna thank everyone that gave me tips and thoughts on my website. They all really helped me out and I hope everyone likes the changes (pretty much every page was updated). In addition to all these other changes I have also started a mailing list to coincide with updates the my website. It is very easy to join, just send me an e-mail and I will add you to it.
