1. In trying as keep as close to the spirit of the original game as possible, there is no handling for an invalidly low number. A zero input prints "chicken" and skips the third card and starts over with 2 new initial cards. 2. After the wad is blown, anything but a yes answer to the "Try again" question ends the game
Acey Ducey
This is a simulation of the Acey Ducey card game. In the game, the dealer (the computer) deals two cards face up. You have an option to bet or not to bet depending on whether or not you feel the next card dealt will have a value between the first two.
Your initial money is set to $100; you may want to alter this value if you want to start with more or less than $100. The game keeps going on until you lose all your money or interrupt the program.
The original program author was Bill Palmby of Prairie View, Illinois.
