Tkinter GUI Programming by Example

The GameState class

We will put the code which needs to run at the beginning of any game into the GameState __init__ method. This code will then run any time we make a new game:

class GameState:    def __init__(self):        self.deck = Deck()        self.deck.shuffle()        self.player_hand = Hand()        self.dealer_hand = Hand(dealer=True)        for i in range(2):            self.player_hand.add_card(self.deck.deal())            self.dealer_hand.add_card(self.deck.deal())        self.has_winner = ''

Inside the __init__ method, we create and shuffle our Deck, assign a Hand to our player and dealer, and initialize the winner as nobody (using an empty string).

Our player_is_over method now sits in this class. Copy it over if you are using a new file.

We will slightly modify our old check_for_blackjack ...
