Pokerito (it's almost Poker!)
Pokerito is like Poker, but the rules are a lot simpler.
- The dealer will give you one card
- and the computer one card.
- Then, the dealer will draw five cards (the river).
- The player with the most river matches wins. If the matches are equal, everyone's a winner!
Final Output:
Launch the workbook
From Java Bootcamp Resources -> Module 1 -> 5. Loops, open Pokerito.
Task 1
Create the function: randomCard.
/** * Function name -- randomCard * @return (String) * * Inside the function: * 1. Gets a random number between 1 and 13. * 2. Returns a card that matches the random number. */
Inside your folder, there's a cards.txt file. There, you can find all the cards in String format.
1: " _____\n"+
" |A _ |\n"+
" | ( ) |\n"+
" |(_'_)|\n"+
" | | |\n"+
" |____V|\n";
...There are 13 cards that go from Ace (1) to King (13). Use switch to return a card that matches the random number.
/** * Function name -- randomCard * @return (String) * * Inside the function: * 1. Gets a random number between 1 and 13. * 2. Returns a card that matches the random number. <----- */
Call the function and print the return value.
Keep running your function. If it gives you a random card each time, then you're good to go!
Task 2
Start the game by explaining the rules.
Let's play Pokerito. Type anything when you're ready.
It's like Poker, but a lot simpler.
- There are two players, you and the computer.
- The dealer will give each player one card.
- Then, the dealer will draw five cards (the river)
- The player with the most river matches wins!
- If the matches are equal, everyone's a winner!
- Ready? Type anything if you are.
Task 3
Once the user "is ready", present them with a card. Also, show them the computer's card.

*/Task 4
Print: Now, the dealer will draw five cards. Press enter to continue.
Use a for loop to draw a card every time the user presses enter. You must draw a total of 5 cards and print the order of each one.
Task 5
-
Count how many times your card matches with the river.
-
Count how many times the computer's card matches with the river.
Then:
-
