A very crude Blackjack.

-----------------------------------

Here is a very crude blackjack, I'm just trying to learn ruby, so I thought it would be a fun project to try out. It's pretty crude, I'm actually making a really cool deck class for super-accurate shuffling, and probability.

I'd love feed back/things I did wrong. Trying to get out of the Turing mindset proves difficult.

                if turnChoice.include?("1") :
                        playerCards += [rand(10)]
                        if total(playerCards) > 21 :
                                playAgain = "2"
                        end
                elsif turnChoice.include?("2") :
                        playAgain = "2"
                end 

Try making use of regular expressions instead of include?  :-)

Thanks wtd, I changed it, I just don't know if there is any advantage to the change. Is it just common practice to do it your way?

                if turnChoice.include?("1") :
                        playerCards += [rand(10)]
                        if total(playerCards) > 21 :
                                playAgain = "2"
                        end
                elsif turnChoice.include?("2") :
                        playAgain = "2"
                end

I had a feeling someone was going to mention that. :P
I wasn't sure why regular expressions weren't working until later on, when i realized it added the eol character.

Which is more self-documenting?
