Title: Another Small Gift to the Community.
Post by: EDanaII on September 26, 2007, 04:21:49 PM

As some might remember, I gave the community a small gift some months ago. Now I have another gift, not as small as the first, but still rather small. Hopefully, this new gift will entertain you for a whole 5 hours, instead of the 5 minutes the first one did. ;-)

I've taken an old WB-based blackjack game and modified it to be full color, added keyboard controls and the ability to choose the deck of cards you want.

The read-me file is here (http://aminet.net/package/game/wb/BlackJack3). The archive file is here (http://aminet.net/game/wb/BlackJack3.lha).

Please send any bug reports to the email address identified in the archive. Please prefix the subject line with the words "Amiga Jack:" so that I can tell it apart from spam. Since I did this to sharpen my C skills -- and familiarize myself with Amiga APIs -- I'll fix what I can, but, as my next project is C++, I intend to create a new version, from scratch, not based on this one.

Enjoy!

Ed.

Thanks Ed, great to see someone still coding for the Amiga.

AmiKit, when will v1.4 be released, my beta version is working
great.  In fact it is working so well, I am using AmiKit
more often to visit Amiga.org and other Amiga websites.

Every Amiga fan that owns a PC should have AmiKit installed!

You guys are certainly welcome. I trust that the program works without (many) issues? :-)

Ed.

 I didn't play with it much but it worked ok. There was only a relatively big delay in the initialization. I thought it had crashed but soon its window popped up.

What were you running it on? Your A1200 ppc? I can see how that might make it a little slower on the start up. If you might, trying changing the DeckLoc tooltype to DeckSmall and see what happens. Might speed it up, but those little cards are hard to read too. :-)

 Well, how? :-) The PPC is not involved anywhere in the game, is it?

 Ok.
