Cyber Risk Simulator (CyberJack-Roulette)

📖 Overview

Cyber Risk Simulator is a single-player Python game that combines blackjack-inspired mechanics with cybersecurity-themed challenges.
Players aim to get a hand value as close to 21 as possible while facing random cybersecurity events, reinforcing concepts such as phishing, firewalls, and encryption in an interactive way.

🎮 How to Play

Player: Single-player against an automated dealer.
Objective: Get as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it. Cybersecurity-themed events add an educational twist.

Gameplay Overview

1. Both the player and dealer receive two cards from a shuffled 52-card deck at the start of each round.
2. A roulette wheel introduces random cybersecurity events:
   • Phishing Alert: Answer a cybersecurity question correctly to continue your turn.
   • Firewall Down: Dealer receives an extra card.
   • Zero-Day Exploit: Dealer’s hand becomes fully visible.
   • System Stable: No event occurs.
3. During your turn, choose to Hit (draw another card) or Stand (keep your current hand).
4. Exceeding 21 results in an automatic loss.
5. The dealer draws cards until reaching at least 17. Exceeding 21 causes the dealer to lose.
6. Round outcome:
   • Player wins if total is closer to 21 than dealer.
   • Dealer wins if total is higher.
   • Tie if scores are equal.
7. Each round lasts one game, but you can play indefinitely until you choose to exit.

🧩 What I Learned

1. Implemented blackjack-inspired gameplay in Python
2. Integrated cybersecurity concepts into interactive events 3.Developed clean, functional, single-file Python code 4.Learned how to structure game logic and handle random events in Python

##🔮 Future Improvements 1.Dynamic Questions: Shuffle questions and answer choices to make gameplay more unpredictable and engaging. 2.Replay Feature: Allow players to continue playing without restarting the program, improving user experience. 3.GUI Interface (Optional): Create a graphical interface for a more interactive experience. 4.Expanded Cybersecurity Events: Add more types of challenges or scenarios to enhance the educational component.
