My first app/game - BlackJack Counter

Hello all!

So I've been working on my first app in my spare time over the last couple weeks, and it is finally at a point where I feel like sharing. It is a very basic blackjack game in html/css/js.

I still have a bit of work to do, mainly make aces 1 or 11 depending on your hand (currently aces are always 11), as well as add a card counting component. I may eventually hook it into a back-end/db as well to add betting/high scores, who knows!

You can try it out at http://apkiernan.github.io/BlackJack_Counter

Let me know what you think!

Wow, it looks great! I found a bug where if you click Hit after you've already busted, it still lets you get another card. But other than that it really looks quite awesome. Well done :)

+1 I had fun!

Nice buddy, I like it! I had the same issue as J, but I just clicked deal again and it was still enjoyable.

Thanks J, Aaron and Dylan for checking it out and giving feedback! I fixed the bug you mentioned, and now the hit/stand buttons should hide at the end of each round, as well as when the player breaks or hits blackjack.

Thanks again!
