About

About
This card game designed to help understand how to always be the first person to reach 20 by allowing students to develop their own thinking about the rules of reaching twenty.

Let assume end in the last number, say 20
Start is the beginning number say 0
largest card number is say, n = 11 for both RED and BLUE players.

The hint is to always win, you need to reach (end-start) - n -1 , which is 8 so that whatever the next move by the opponent ranging from 1 to 11, you can place your next card to reach end =20!

Another example is
Let assume end in the last number, say 20
Start is the beginning number say 0
largest card number is say, n = 5 for both RED and BLUE players.
So the AI step is = end - i*(n+1),
so stepAI[0] = 20 -0*(5+1) = 20
stepAI[1] = 20-1*(5+1) = 14
stepAI[2] = 20-2*(5+1) = 8
stepAI[3] = 20-3*(5+1) = 2
so to win, try to land on 2, followed by 8, followed by 14 and lastly to win 20!
enjoy!

Game play can be made more challenging by varying target end number from default 20 to 40 for example.
start number from default of 0 to 10 for example
number of cards available to players, default is 11
odd numbers card only for player 1 or 2
even numbers cards only for player 1 or 2
