An entire casino built into your terminal.

Installation

$ cargo install casino

Usage

Run casino for a selection of games, or casino <game> to start a specific game.

$ casino blackjack
Your money: $1000.00
> How much will you bet? 100
Betting $100.00
* The dealer issues your cards.
Dealer's hand: 🂠 🃂
Your hand: 🃔 🂺  (14)
> What will you do? Stand
* Hole card revealed!
Dealer's hand: 🂻 🃂  (12)
* The dealer issues themself another card.
Dealer's hand: 🂻 🃂 🃕  (17)
* The hand is finished!
HOUSE WINS! You lose $100.00. You now have $900.00

You start with $1000.00, and if you ever hit $0.00, you are gifted another $1000.00. This balance is persisted to your XDG data directory, along with the state of the deck of cards you're playing with. You can modify this file if you want to break my heart and cheat at this innocent little terminal game.

Check your wallet balance with casino balance:

$ casino balance
$1000.00

You can view your lifetime stats with casino stats:

$ casino stats
Hands won.............................8
Hands lost...........................12
Hands tied............................1
Times hit bankruptcy..................0
Total money won.................1620.00
Total money lost................1240.00
