This programming challenge is designed to see how you code, it should be able to an hour and include input validation and unit tests to prove your code will work as expected.
The code was written in C# (.NET 4.7.1) and Visual Studio 2017
Please download the repository, open solution in Visual Studio 2017 and build and execute main console app.
😓 👹 🐑 ⛵ 
- 2-6 players.
- 2-5 rounds.
- The dealer shuffles the deck at the start of each round.
- The dealer deals 2 cards to each player.
- The dealer ranks each player’s hand according to the poker hand ranking rules
- At the end of each round, each player is assigned a score (0 – weakest to strongest x-1 (where x = number of players)).
- The overall winner is determined once all rounds have been completed. The winner is the player with the highest score.
In order from strongest to weakest
- Straight Flush (2 cards of sequential rank, same suit)
- Flush (2 cards, same suit)
- Straight (2 cards of sequential rank, different suit)
- 1 pair (2 cards of same rank)
- High Card (2 cards, different rank, suit and not in sequence. Highest card wins) * Individual cards are ranked A (highest), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (lowest). * Suit order (strongest to weakest): Spades, Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds * 🔴 ❗ important note here, since in original requirement there were no mentioning of priority of the above-mentioned rules, I assumed that suits are stronger than ranks. So 2 Spades is higher than Ace Diamonds
Develop a 2 card poker game according to the rules above. Implement each feature according to the acceptance criteria stated later. You will be judged on the following merits:
- Code quality
- Test coverage
- Correctness (according to the game specification)
As The Dealer
I want to Shuffle the Deck
So that the card sequence is different for each round
Scenario: Shuffle Deck X Times
Given it is the start if a new round
And the game is not over
And a deck of 52 cards
When I shuffle the deck X time (s)
Then the deck is in a different order each time
