' No suits shown for cards A is Ace, J, Q, K are Jack, Queen, King, X is for 10
'2020-07-05 fix hit (it wasn't broken), delete line chose$ = inkey$ before loop
' force dealer to hit on 16 stay 17
' ties are push
' bring in double down option
' fix dealer has Blackjack should tell also fix exposing 2nd card
' work this towards converting to multiple AI players, so players stats are all located in PlayerType
' 2020-07-06 Installed AI and mods for it
' 2020-07-06 new Compact Tester with 2nd AI
' 2020-07-06 start Blackjack Multi AI Tester off of Compact Tester
' add in allot of code worked out in Blackjack with Bots 2019-06-07
' Yes, major overhaul of last year bot code which was/is neat!
' Thanks Johnno and Steve for some interesting AI ideas to try!
' 2020-07-07 for Blackjack Multi AI Tester #2, I hope to do something kind of interesting with displaying players
' Yes Mouse over a player you want to check on but try and stay out of way of updating.
' 2020-07-08 No overlapping players, sucks, get rid of timer stuff, removed.
' Screen Size depends on how many players go against Dealer from 1 to 6 maximum.
' 1 row of players with screen width < 1024, Dealer at top.
' Added more items to Player type to display status solely from it's array contents.
' Also forbid player to double down if es chips can't cover loss.
' Display round number in Title Bar
' 2020-07-08 added some basic stay strategies

' Blackjack Multi-Tester Notes: (removed from screening at start)
' *** Blackjack Multi AI Tester #3 ***
'
' Each AI bot starts with 100 chips and bets 2 each round.
' Dealer must hit on 16 or less.
' Blackjack pays 1.5 X the bet.
' Double down option available when you get 2 cards.
' It Doubles the bet and you get one more card.
