public class Game

extends java.lang.Object

This is a simplified version of a common card game, "21".

In this game, the dealer deals two "cards" to each player, one hidden, so that only the player knows what it is, and one face up, so that everyone can see it. (Actually, what the other players see is the total of each other's cards, not the individual cards.)

The players then take turns requesting cards, trying to get as close to 21 as possible, but not going over 21. A player may pass (ask for no more cards). Once a player has passed, he or she cannot later ask for another card. When all three players have passed, the game ends.

The winner is the player who has come closest to 21 without exceeding it. In the case of a tie, or if everyone goes over 21, no one wins.

In this program, we further simplify things by assuming that there is one dealer (who does not play) and exactly three players. The game is only played once. Students: Once you get the basic game running, feel free to remove some or all of these restrictions.
