Chips

What we are doing

You play for chips. You start with 100, and every deal puts a bet of 10 on the table. reset starts a whole new game: full chips, a new deck, the first deal.

```js
const START = 100 // chips at the start
const BET = 10
let bank
let bet

  bet = BET
  bank -= bet

function reset() {
  bank = START
  newDeck()
  deal()
}

  ctx.fillText('Chips ' + bank + '  Bet ' + bet, 20, 28)

reset()
```

What it means

• bank is the chips you hold, bet the chips on the table this round.
• The bet leaves your chips when the cards are dealt.
• At the bottom, reset() replaces newDeck() and deal(): it calls both.

Your turn

1. Under PLAYER_Y, write START and BET; under phase, write bank and bet.
2. At the top of deal, place the bet.
3. Above press, write reset; at the bottom, call it instead of newDeck() and deal().
4. In draw, write the chips under your total.
