Process and Functioning

1. The application loads all strategy files from the strats directory.
2. It initializes each strategy with a set amount of credits (default: 1000).
3. The simulation runs for a minimum number of rounds (default: 50) or until the player runs out of credits.
4. For each round:
   • The player places a bet based on their strategy.
   • Cards are dealt to the player and dealer.
   • The player makes decisions (hit, stand, etc.) based on their strategy.
   • The dealer plays according to standard rules (hit on 16 or below, stand on 17 or above).
   • The round result is determined, and credits are adjusted accordingly.
5. After all rounds, the application plots the performance of each strategy and prints the final results.

Available Classes and Types

1. Card: Represents a playing card with a rank and suit.
2. Deck: Represents a deck of cards with methods to draw cards.
3. Player: Represents a player with credits, a hand, and a strategy.
4. BlackjackGame: Manages the game logic for a single round of blackjack.
5. Strategy: An abstract base class that all strategies should inherit from.

Creating a New Strategy

To create a new strategy:

1. Create a new Python file in the strats directory (e.g., my_strategy.py).
2. Define a Strategy class in this file with the following methods:
   • __init__(self): Initialize any strategy-specific variables.
   • decide_bet(self, player_credits): Decide the bet amount for the round.
   • decide_action(self, player_hand, dealer_up_card): Decide the action to take (hit or stand).
   • decide_split(self, player_hand): Decide whether to split a pair (optional).
   • decide_double_down(self, player_hand): Decide whether to double down (optional).
   • update_result(self, result): Update the strategy based on the round result (optional).

Here's a boilerplate code for a new strategy:
