Pontoon Card Game (C++ Console)

## Pontoon (C++ Console Implementation)

This is a console-based version of the card game Pontoon (a variant similar to Blackjack), implemented in standard C++ using Visual Studio.

**Features:**

* Play against a dealer.

* Handles player actions: 'twist' (hit) and 'stick' (stand).

* Calculates hand values, correctly handling the dual value of Aces (1 or 11).

* Includes logic for Bust, Pontoon (21 with two cards), and Five Card Trick conditions.

* Uses C++ classes for `PlayingCard`, `Deck` (with shuffling/dealing), and `Hand`.

**Context:**

This project was developed as a supporting exercise during the 'Game Software Engineering' module (Year 1) at Teesside University. The focus was on practicing C++ Object-Oriented Programming (class design, encapsulation) and game logic implementation.
