Blackjack for free (yay)


Blackjack for free (yay)

You might be staring at this post asking yourself, "why on earth would someone waste their time and program yet ANOTHER Blackjack?" Well, I needed to learn C++, and I figured there'd be no better way than to start with something simple. It was the first game I programmed in .NET (sadly enough, it was only text based), so it should only be fitting that I program a superior one in C++.

I did use GapiDraw with this game, despite the fact that it'd be extremely overkill. I had a reason for this as well; I couldn't resist trying out one of the two most popular graphic libraries, and I also had to familiarize myself with one of them for when I get around to programming a "real" game. But why GapiDraw specifically? It was just simply easier to use for learning purposes (at least to me - their tutorials rocked). That is, of course, a compliment to its creators.

So here it is, my first Pocket PC game. Well, okay, not quite yet. The download below is actually to the PC version. It is however built with GapiDraw, so compiling it in eVC and making it work on the Pocket PC as well isn't a big deal. However, there's one minor problem with that; I don't have a Pocket PC yet. 8O I refuse to use the emulator (I hate that darn thing), and I definitely refuse to release an executable that I have not tested myself (you just never know). I will, however, have my Pocket PC soon enough. When that happens I'll post the Pocket PC version (obviously for free). For now, I simply couldn't resist sharing my new game (no matter how simplistic it may be).

In case you're wondering, the game includes everything you'd expect to find at a typical casino; insurance, double, split, hit, stand, etc. If you're not up and up with the Blackjack rules, you can read them here (please note that some things may vary in my game, and no this is not my site);

Please let me know if you find any bugs. :) Enjoy.
