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

First, launch the workbook from Visual Studio Code.

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 3: Present the user with a card

         Here's your card:
         <show card>
         <new line>
         Here's the computer's card:
         <show 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

---

1. Count how many times your card matches with the river.

2. Count how many times the computer's card matches with the river.

Then:

• print: Your number of matches: <yourMatches>

• print: Computer number of matches: <computerMatches>

If you have more matches, print: You win!. If the computer has more matches, print: The computer wins!. If the matches are equal, print: everyone wins!.

Example:

Here's your card: 
    _____ 
   |9    |
   |o o o|
   |o o o|
   |o o o|
   |____9|

Here's the computer's card: 
    _____ 
   |7    |
   | o o |
   |o o o|
   | o o |
   |____7|

Now, the dealer will draw five cards. Press enter to continue.
