Play Blackjack in your Browser Console! ♠️♥️♦️♣️

How to Play:

Objective: Get as close to 21 as possible without going over, beating the dealer’s total.
Commands: After pasting the code, you’ll be prompted to type either hit (to draw another card) or stand (to hold your current total).
Outcome: The dealer will automatically draw cards after you stand, and the winner will be determined.

Instructions:

Open your browser's developer tools (right-click → Inspect or press F12).
Go to the "Console" tab.
Copy and paste the following code to start a blackjack game!

(function() {
  function getCard() {
    const cards = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11];
    return cards[Math.floor(Math.random() * cards.length)];
  }
 
  function handTotal(hand) {
    let total = hand.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
    hand.filter(card => card === 11).forEach(() => {
      if (total > 21) total -= 10;
    });
    return total;
  }
 
  function playBlackjack() {
    let playerHand = [getCard(), getCard()];
    let dealerHand = [getCard(), getCard()];
 
    function showHands() {
      console.log(`Your hand: ${playerHand.join(", ")} (Total: ${handTotal(playerHand)})`);
      console.log(`Dealer's hand: ${dealerHand[0]}, ?`);
