Black Jack trouble

[jamestur]

Need help,
my program has multiple problems, First problem is that i can continue to hit as long as i want, also in the event the dealer busts and player total is less than or equal to 21 chip total is not changed, and the dealers final total remains the same throughout the program, and dealer can go over and still win.

P.S : I'm not very good at Turing, nor am I familiar with much terms beyond a grade 10 level.

Here's what I have so far,

%Beginning of Program

var pt, dt, pt2, dt2, num1, num2, chips, wager : int

var hit : string


chips := 1000
put "You have ", chips, " chips, how much do you want to wager?"
loop

loop
% loop
pt := Rand.Int (1, 11)
pt2 := Rand.Int (1, 11)
dt := Rand.Int (1, 11)
dt2 := Rand.Int (1, 11)
pt3 := Rand.Int (1, 11)
num1 := pt + pt2
num2 := dt + dt2
% put "You have ", chips, " chips, how much do you want to wager?"
loop
get wager
if wager > chips then
put "You don't have that much chips."
elsif wager < 1 then
put "Error try again."
elsif not wager > chips then
exit
end if

end loop
put "Dealer shows a ", dt
put "You have a ", pt, " and a ", pt2, " your total is ", num1, ", would you like to hit?"

loop
loop
loop

get hit
if hit = "y" then
num1 := num1 + Rand.Int (1, 11)


put "Total is now ", num1

end if
if hit = "n" then
exit
end if
end loop
exit
end loop
loop
if num2 <= 16 then
num2 := num2 + Rand.Int (1, 11)
put "He hits, and his total is now ", num2
exit when num2 >= 17
elsif num2 > 16 then
exit
end if
end loop
if num1 < num2 and num2 < 22 and
num1 >= 22 then
put "You lose!"
chips := chips - wager
exit

elsif num1 > num2 and
num1 <= 21 then
chips := chips + wager
put "You win!"
exit
end if
if hit = "n" then
put "Dealers total is ", num2
if num1 < num2 and
num1 <= 22 and
num2 <= 21 then
put ""
put "You lose!"
chips := chips - wager
elsif num1 > num2 and
num1 <= 21 then
chips := chips + wager
put "You win!"
exit
end if
exit
end if
end loop
% loop
% if num2 <= 16 then
% num2 := num2 + Rand.Int (1, 11)
% put "He hits, and his total is now ", num2
% end if
% end loop
put "You have ", chips, " chips, how much do you want to wager?"

end loop
end loop

%end of program

FYI, I am using Turing 4.0.5 , just in case it matters.


Variables : num1 is the players current card count, num2 is the dealers.
wager is amount of chips wagered self explanatory I guess.
chips is the current player chip total.
pt dt pt2 dt2 are the starting cards for the player and dealer .
hit is the yes or no question on whether the player wants another card , also self explanatory.

This is just some boolean logic errors, and a lot of abuse of loops. I suggest writing what your program has to do, step by step on paper, not in actual code, but in words. This will help you see why you need or do not need some of those loops, and figure out what has to be true in order to tell if dealer went over, etc. I removed some unnecessary loops and code (the 'if hit = "n" then' part after the 'you lose' loop) and changed some boolean logic, and got this to work, so you are very close.

Thanks for the help, I removed lots of unnecessary code and the program is working great.
