Hi, Blitz!
I've coded a strategy trainer similar to the one you envision for BS (and my own proprietary strategy) for the games I encounter in my area. Here's a screen shot from the trainer:

Among other things, it keeps a log of any hands you miss and allows you to only play your "weak" hands.
I suppose it took about 3 months to code from scratch in my spare time. It wouldn't take that long to modify it for S21 if I were motivated and knew the correct strategy. I use a matrix to select the correct strategy based on the player's hand and the Dealer's up card so I would need to add a new S21 matrix. Also, my trainer gives you a terse and a verbose explanation for the logic behind the correct play and those explanations come from other matrices, so that would have to be added.
My trainer, unlike the ones I've seen elsewhere, lets you continue to play your hand until you bust. Most trainers I saw only let you play the first decision. This is partly why I wrote it because some hands (e.g., the soft hands) require more thought after the first decision. I also wrote it because I use a strategy I've developed and that is simply not available anywhere else.
But, I'm not motivated at the moment because I don't have a S21 game available to me and I'm plenty busy with other projects. If I get around to it, I'll let you know. I remember seeing a book on S21 by an Australian female author, I think. So, I would get that book first and read about it and find some S21 games to play before I started.
Take care,
SiMi
