Hello and thankyou in advance for any help you provide. I have been sitting figuring out how to start with what functions to write this program. I know it will probably be easy for a lot of you, so any help will greatly be apperciated. Im using microsoft visual c++6, the program dosent have to include any gui just plain old dos window programming.


Here are the specs

You are the programmer at a casino in Atlantic City. You have been tasked to develop a computer
program that can play Ace-High, a card game similar to, but simpler than, Blackjack. The rules and
procedures are as follows:
1. Cards have their standard values (a numerical card has its numerical value in the range of two to
ten and face cards all have a value of ten), except that aces always have a value of eleven.

2. The deck of cards will be implemented as a Boolean array of 52 "cards," where an individual
card will be considered true if it is in the deck and false if it has already been drawn. The
program will start with a "full deck." Each time a card is drawn, that location will be marked
false.

3. The program begins by printing a suitable welcome message.

4. The player always draws first and always draws two cards initially. If the player "busts," that is,
if the combined value of the player's two cards exceeds 21, then the player loses, the dealer does
not draw, and the game is over.

5. The dealer (computer) draws second. The dealer draws two cards initially. If the total of the two
cards is less than 17, the dealer then "hits" (draws another card) until the total of her or his cards
is greater than or equal to 17. If the dealer "busts," then the player wins and the game is over.

6. If no one has busted at this point, whoever has the higher total wins, and the game is over.
However, if at this point the dealer and player are tied, this forces a playoff in which both the
dealer and player each draw a single card. If the dealer's card is higher, the dealer wins; if the
player's card is higher, the player wins; and if the dealer's and player's cards are equal, then the
playoff is repeated (i.e., each draws another card) until either the dealer or player wins.

7. The program displays as much of this information as is pertinent to the hand:

a. The value of each of the player's initial two cards and their total value;

b. The value of each of the dealer's initial two cards and their total value;

c. The value of the player's card(s) during a playoff;

d. The value of the dealer's card(s) during a playoff;

e. A statement declaring whether the player or dealer is the winner.

8. After the winner has been determined, the program asks if another game should be played. An
answer of "y" or "Y" starts another game; any other answer terminates the game. If the user
wants to play again, the deck is reset to a "full" deck.
