Week 4 Status Report
This week, I have been primarily working on developing the processing algorithm. Mainly, I have been reading literature on how cards are used to update the count, existing mathematical models on Blackjack so that I can decide how to provide suggestions for users to play. Additionally, I’ve spent some time setting up the scaffolding for the web application, outlining what are the functionalities that the web application should provide. As of now, some of these functionalities include: ability to toggle suggestions on and off, interface to start and set the game and players. Progress is going smoothly and according to plan. I intend to set up a basic version of the web application by next week, figure out whether the functionalities are sufficient, and spend the next few weeks improving the UI design and integrating it with the processing algorithm.
