Introduction
Welcome to my blog post about the Casino Game Project I developed as part of a Codecademy course. This project combines the excitement of casino games with the intrigue of NPCs inspired by characters from the TV show "Lost". In this post, I'll walk you through the features, development process, and how you can try it out yourself.
Project Overview
The Casino Game Project is a Python-based game that includes popular casino games such as Blackjack and Roulette. What makes this project unique is the inclusion of NPCs inspired by characters from "Lost", adding an extra layer of fun.
Features
- Play Blackjack and Roulette: Enjoy two classic casino games with realistic mechanics and rules.
- NPCs: Inspired by "Lost" characters join games and play.
- ASCII Art: Experience the game with visually appealing ASCII art representations of game elements.
Development Process
The development process involved several key steps:
- Designing the Game Mechanics: Implementing the rules and logic for Blackjack and Roulette.
- Creating NPCs: Designing NPCs based on "Lost" characters and integrating them into the game.
- User Interface: Using ASCII art to create a simple yet engaging user interface.
- Testing and Debugging: Ensuring the game runs smoothly and fixing any issues that arose during development.(always an ongoing process)

Conclusion
Developing the Casino Game Project was an exciting and educational experience. Combining coding skills with creativity, I was able to create a fun and engaging game. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed developing it!
