Games::Tournament::BlackJack::Player 0.01

Games::Tournament::BlackJack::Player is a module to create your own entries to GTB Tournaments.

The main purpose for this module is to allow users to develop new subclasses of Games::Tournament::BlackJack::Player for use in Games::Tournament::BlackJack tournaments. The Thousand-Oaks PerlMongers group will be organizing the official 2005 tournament that this codebase was originally written to support. The author felt it would be most appropriate to open the code running the tournament to reap the
usual litany of benefits.

All entries to this and future official tournaments must be submitted under a license approved under the Open Source Definition. ( http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php )

You can use this set of modules to:

There is further documentation in the modules themselves, and the discuss folder of the distribution. Start with C< Games::Tournament::BlackJack >.

This is an early version, much more documentation is planned, especially
on the user-developer side for tournament entrants.

Feedback, patches, etc.. are welcome (though I make no guarantees on
acceptance for patches.. or agreement for feedback.)
