Vingt et Un

Introduction

A version of the old card game, the aim being to reach a total of 21 without exceeding it.

Details

This is a recently written RISC OS version of the old card game. The idea of the game is to reach a total of 21 without exceeding it, by counting the pips of the cards that are dealt to you. The suits do not play a part in the game. This is a game for one player.

Aces count either one or eleven at the player's option, court cards count ten, other cards their face value. A total of 21 therefore can be made with an Ace and a ten or a court card and this beats any other combination. Betting is an integral part of the game and it ends when the player or the dealer runs out of chips!

The game features sprite movements by dragging with the mouse and can be played completely by using themouse. Instructions accompany every move that the novice makes, although these lessen as time goes on.
