A minimalist command-line Blackjack game written in the Odin programming language. This project demonstrates core programming concepts in Odin including I/O handling, control flow, and data structures, while providing a playable and interactive blackjack experience in the terminal.

• Basic Blackjack rules (player vs dealer)
• Full deck of 52 cards, shuffled each game
• Player actions: Hit, Stand
• Dealer logic following standard rules (hits until 17+)
• Clear win/lose/draw outcome messages
• CLI-based UI with minimal dependencies

• Language: Odin
• Platform: Cross-platform (Tested on Windows & Linux)

• Odin compiler (install via: odin-lang.org/docs/install)
• A terminal emulator

odin run src

1. Deck Initialization: Generates a fresh 52-card deck.
2. Shuffling: Randomly shuffles the deck using rand from Odin's standard library.
3. Dealing: Both player and dealer receive 2 cards initially.
4. Player Turn: Choose to Hit or Stand until bust or stand.
5. Dealer Turn: Dealer plays by rules (hits below 17).
6. Result: The program determines the winner based on Blackjack rules.

To setup debugging for Odin programs on Windows with VsCode follow these steps:

• make sure you have the C/C++ extension pack (VsCode extension) installed
• create a .vscode folder at the root of your Odin project
• copy the launch.json and tasks.json into it
• click on the debug tab in VsCode, then click on the debug button at the top (or press F5)

Note: if you want to use a starter template which also sets up a tracking allocator which tracks and reports memory leaks you can use: https://github.com/RednibCoding/Odin-Starter

Q: When I start debugging, I get the following error popup: Configured debug type 'cppvsdbg' is not supported.

A: Make sure you have the C/C++ extension pack installed. If it is already installed, try reinstalling it.
