' Started from code not using card images so:
' 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 if dealer has Blackjack should tell also fix exposing 2nd card. Work this
' towards converting to multiple AI players, then all players stats are located
' in PlayerType and displayed with ShowPlayer (player) SUB.
' 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 many players at one time.
' Yes Mouse over a player you want to check on but try and stay out of way of updating.
' 2020-07-08 BJ Multi AI Tester #3
' 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
' 2020-07-09 Some more fixes to Tester #3: Stop dealing cards to players without chips.
' Forbid DD if don't have chips to cover loss. Need Round number when run out of chips.
' First Johnno AI went over 10,000 rounds on 200 chips!
' 2020-07-10 I give up trying to find a strategy to stop draining a player of chips, so one
' little change in rules. ;-)) Something that Casinos would never do...
' 2020-07-11 Final adjustments to Tester #3
' >>>>>>>>>>> GOTO LINE #272 to adjust speed of play uncomment _DELAY line
' >>>>>>>>>>> set to 1 or 2 to watch game play, .01 for fast round and watch chips

' Blackjack Multi-Tester Notes: (removed from screening at start)
' *** Blackjack Multi AI Tester #3 ***
'
' Each AI bot starts with 200 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.
