Jacob Santos' Blog: PHP Blackjack |
In a new post to his blog today, Jacob Santos shares a look at converting an application from one language to another from C++ to PHP (obviously). The reason I'm revisiting blackjack is because I have a C++ version and I want to port it to PHP, for fun. If you want to have a simple project for learning a language, other than Hello World, then Blackjack is a good project.Since Blackjack is a relatively simple game (as far as the rules go, that is) he chose a simple C++ version to port over. He sets up some guidelines first break down the code into simple, reusable parts and keeping it as simple as possible. Most of the rest of the code is dedicated to the code:Game startStatistics handlingRandomizationLoopingConditional statementsThe transition is pretty simple, really, especially with how flexible PHP is and the large number of built in functions it comes with. |
