This semester you will be writing a program that models elements of recognizing and creating characters. Optical character recognition is an important area of research that allows photographs or printed documents to be digitized; by doing so, these documents are made available for machine-based searching.

CAPTCHA helps reduce the amount of spam on the Internet.
We will implement a highly limited type of image matching, processing, and creation this semester. Rather than write this project at once, we will break the project down into
Gambling has a long (and sordid) history on the internet. The history of computer games, however, is
quite a bit older than the internet. For this program, you will develop and code a game ofthree-card
poker. The computer (the Dealer) will play against a single human player (the Player). Your program
should present the game as described below.
