Blackjack Program Scoring Help?

mexistani · Apr 14, 2010

I simply need help on how to make my scoring system work. I thought it would work, but I'm not sure how to retrieve it from my deck class. Do I used score.setText (???[getValue])?.......
Please don't criticize the way I made this program, I'm novice, & yes, I know arrays would have helped. I'm not going into inheritance yet either.

public class blkjack extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
private int numArray;
private JLabel score;//score player 2
private JLabel score2;//score player 1
private JLabel backGround;//background blackjack table

Can you explain the issue a bit more? What value are you attempting to get and do what with it?

aznguy94 · Apr 16, 2010

I really don't want to look through all that...what is your problem here? This is a player vs. player program right? If so, a blackjack program should be pretty simple...what exactly are you trying to score? If it's scoring of each hand then the lowest sum wins...if you're trying to score the overall game then you have to create your own scoring system seeing as there is no betting...

Anyways, I'm having a lot of trouble reading your code as it has poor OOP imo...there's no way your main should be that long for something so simple.

Do you mean how do you try and keep track of your score? I've made a couple of simple games and I usually just make a panel class called Score and make some fields and methods in there to put the scores on labels and such, then add them into the main panel. Like if you're using a border layout, my score panel is usually on the north or west. Hope this helped.
