Simple BlackJack game in XNA (zipped up project files)

Question

Hey all, just been trying to learn GSE, and I made a VERY basic BlackJack game, which hopefully may help someone else get started.  I tried to comment the code, and I know there's a LOT of room for improvement.  Input on how to make some of my classes more generic (maybe even make the components) would be appreciated.

Such as:

Card class (uses tiles in a texture to build the card, so each face value and suite symbol is listed in the texture)
Deck class (actually a class to hold a deck and several hands or piles of cards)
BMPFont class (a very rough and dirty, but functional tile based rendering engine)

Answer 2

Cool. I've been hoping to see some card games. I thought about starting one myself, but I've too much going on as is.  A card game starter kit would be cool.

Answer 3

Jason and I started working on a card game, but we wanted to do multiple players, and since the status of multiple players on the Xbox is currently unknown we haven't persued it very far.

 

Answer 4

Why not just do the multiple players for the PC version and AI for the 360?

Pretty good. I believe I ran into a problem where I stood and the dealer didn't hit. It locked up. I'll have to try it again though.
