Little Help.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good example of a really really basic C++ blackjack, Nothing fancy, just really really basic commands.
I'm not using anyhting beyond

#include<iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>
#include<math.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<fstream.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

As of now, and I'd prefer not to have to learn too much new stuff to get this done.

Thanks.

I suggest an array of size 52 where each number describes a card and suit. Make the aces 0-3 and so on. Aces can be 11 or 1, face cards and 10s are treated as 10, etc. Make a shuffle function implimenting rand() and at the beginning of the prog do an srand(time(NULL)); Then swap the array values by generating 2 random numbers from 0-51 or rand()%52; swap using a for loop of a minimum number of swaps = 100. Make a function to add up the current hand. Prompt the user if they want a hit or want to stay. Also impliment splits. That should get you started.

Sorry for the brain dump. I wrote a similar prog in college. This was my approach. Later we implimented a card class which returned the value of the card. A class to impliment the dealing etc... That will come later.
