Problem: Randomize and Count

[Mike_P]

Hi Everybody. I am trying to make a Black Jack program which can randomize numbers witin a specific range and then count them and stop if a certain value are reached. So If I randomizes and gets 7, 8 and 10 a function counts that 7 + 8 = 15 and 15 + 10 = 25.
25 would be too much so it then states that the game is over via a If AddACard <= 21 GameOver. But I'm not really there yet. I'm stuck at the part where the counter should count the randomized numbers.

I've tried with different ways but it never works, it just attaches to the randomizer and dynamically change every time the randomizer calls a number or randomizes two numbers every time the randomizer does one number.

I have One button and two labels. The button randomizes(draws a card) a number, and Label1 displays it. Label2 Is meant to serve as a counter and display the cards you've drawn and add them.

This is the Randomize Function.

Function GetACard() As Integer
Randomize
GetACard = Int(14 * Rnd + 1)
End Function

Here's button one.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
GetACard ' Calls the Randomize Function.
Label1.Caption = GetACard ' Puts Randomized Number in Label1
AddACard ' This is where the problem starts.
End Sub

Function AddACard() As Integer ' This doesn't seem to Work. Seems to Randomize two numbers. 
AddACard = GetACard
AddACard = AddACard + GetACard
Label2.Caption = GetACard
End Function

Does anyone have a clue how to make it add the numbers and store them?

Thanks in Advance!

Mike

Thanks, this seems to be a great community!

Martin Liss's BlackJack seems interesting .

Will take a close look.

Thanks for the help!

The Issue is now solved. I added a Form_Load statement which set a variable to 0 which made it start to count from 0 + each card drawn.

Thanks for Help,
