iOS: Make app look better

User: Ok, the app works but it looks a bit ugly. Give some suggestions to make it look better.

To improve the appearance of your app, consider the following suggestions:

Use custom fonts and font sizes: Change the font and font size of your text elements to create a more polished look. For example:

Text("Player Card 1: \(playerCard1)")
    .font(.system(size: 24, weight: .bold, design: .rounded))

Add colors: Add background colors, text colors, and button colors to create a visually appealing interface. You can use the .foregroundColor() and .background() modifiers to customize colors. For example:

Text("Player Card 1: \(playerCard1)")
    .foregroundColor(.white)
    .background(Color.blue)
    .cornerRadius(8)

Add padding and spacing: Add padding and spacing between elements to create a clean layout. Use the .padding() modifier and VStack or HStack with the spacing parameter to adjust spacing. For example:

VStack(spacing: 16) {
    Text("Player Card 1: \(playerCard1)")
    Text("Player Card 2: \(playerCard2)")
    Text("Dealer Card: \(dealerCard)")
}
.padding()

Use images for cards: Instead of displaying card values as text, you can use images to represent the cards. You can create a function that returns the image name for a given card value and use the Image view to display the image. For example:

func imageName(for cardValue: String) -> String {
    return "card_\(cardValue)"
}

Image(imageName(for: playerCard1))
    .resizable()
    .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)

Style the buttons: Customize the appearance of your buttons using the .buttonStyle() modifier and creating a custom button style. For example:

struct CustomButtonStyle: ButtonStyle {
    func makeBody(configuration: Configuration) -> some View {
        configuration.label
            .padding()
            .background(Color.blue)
            .foregroundColor(.white)
            .cornerRadius(8)
            .scaleEffect(configuration.isPressed ? 0.95 : 1.0)
    }
}

Button("Split") {
    // ...
}
.buttonStyle(CustomButtonStyle())

Add animations: Enhance the user experience by adding animations to your app. Use the .animation() modifier to create smooth transitions when state variables change. For example:

Text(feedbackMessage)
    .opacity(feedbackMessage.isEmpty ? 0 : 1)
    .animation(.easeInOut(duration: 0.3), value: feedbackMessage)

Organize your layout: Use VStack, HStack, and ZStack to create a well-organized layout for your app. Group related elements together and align them properly.

By implementing these design suggestions, you can create a more visually appealing and user-friendly app. Experiment with different styles and layouts to find the best look for your blackjack practice app.
