AIO-Blackjack - Araxia

Overview

This project implements a custom Blackjack game for a for AzerothCore with Eluna and it uses AIO. The game is hosted by a custom NPC, and players can interact with the NPC to play Blackjack directly in the game.

Requires: AIO

Tip

What is AIO? AIO is a library that allows messaging from the core server and game client. This allows developers to build and deploy server-side UI changes as if they were AddOns without requiring a user to install anything. Modules in this repo that have .client and .server are AIO based modules.

Installation

1. Files to Copy

Lua Scripts

Copy the following Lua scripts to the appropriate directories in your server:

• Server Script: BlackjackServer.lua
• Client Script: BlackjackClient.lua

SQL File

Copy the provided SQL file to your server's database. This file includes the necessary entries to add the Blackjack Dealer NPC to your game world.

• SQL File: Blackjack-Gambler.sql

2. How to Install

1. Place the Lua Scripts:

   • Copy the BlackjackServer.lua script into your server's scripts directory (typically found in lua_scripts or a similar directory).
   • Copy the BlackjackClient.lua script into your client's Interface/AddOns/ directory or where your client-side scripts are stored.

2. Run the SQL Script:

   • Execute the BlackjackDealer.sql file on your WoW server database to add the Blackjack Dealer NPC to the game.

3. How the Game Works

1. Interacting with the NPC:

   • Players can approach the NPC with ID 1000000 and select one of two options: Play Blackjack or view the Rules of Blackjack.

2. Playing the Game:

   • Players pay an entry fee of 500 gold to start the game.
   • Players can place additional bets before drawing their second card, up to a maximum of 4 cards.
   • The game follows standard Blackjack rules, where the goal is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over.

3. Winning and Losing:

   • If the player wins, they receive their bet back along with an additional 500 gold.
   • If the player loses, they forfeit their bet and the game cost.

4. Custom Assets

Make sure any custom assets (like card images and sounds) are placed in the appropriate directories on both the client and server. For example:

• Card Images: Should be placed in Interface\Cards\
