Voodoo Lounge Blackjack

You walk into the Voodoo Lounge... the lights are bright pools in a dim abyss, highlighting the gaming tables and the cluster of players circling the green baize scattered with cards and brightly coloured chips. A sneer flickers across your lean, dark, handsome visage as you ease onto a vacant stool, and the musky smell of sweat-soaked losers assails your acquiline nostrils... You have come to play... BLACKJACK!

One small suggestion... I can't split 10 and face card nor can I split two face cards... I think double needs to be implemented as well. Nice design though and well thought!

@rook: thank you... just looking at why you cant split the paints...

I thought *double* was implemented, but only on 9,10,11, but checking that...

FIXED: note: you can only split once, at the moment. Just to make the programming and design easier and to get the game up, is the reason...




Double is on 9,10 and 11, which is the rule at my local casino, I am not familiar with other casinos, because I do not really have a James Bond lifestyle... But maybe I should put these type of customisable options into an OPTIONs menu...

Well you can always double in Vegas... though 99% of the time it is stupid! :) With your double it looks like you have the option to STAND... I have never had that option in a Blackjack game before... Usually when you pick DOUBLE it drops you one more card automatically and then finishes play.

What I meant about splitting two face cards was it refused to let me split two DIFFERENT face cards... King and Queen would not split but Jack and Jack would... Not trying to be pedantic... just wanting to communicate clearly!

Oh yeah... how about a $200 linit now (I assume that could be customizable) and a $100 chip to select from?

You are doing fantastic work! What version of Blitz did you program in???

Yeah this looks nice, you have a good real feel to the cards and table - although some of the card scans look a couple of pixels offset here and there.

Also you can see a noticeable change on the cloth (beize?) when you change your bet - I guess this is because of the background to the fonts and the fact you are using 2d. If you were to use 3d for the fonts you could use the alpha channel and avoid this, but I'm sure that would only confuse things at this stage.

Look forward to see what else you do with it.

I was hoping that was part of the ambient feel of the thing...

<edit> to elaborate, when you are dealt cards, they don't all come in a neat row. My deal IS in a neat row, but I felt that having a little *funkiness* in the alignment of the card scans would not be amiss, since the cards one is dealt are never aligned anyway... </edit>



Baize. Its because I thought no one would notice, hawkeye. I will fix ;)

yeah, ok, it should do that. I will get on it. Honestly, I thought i could make this game in an afternoon... weeks later... :) ALSO : I discovered I did not know as much about Blackjack as I thought I did, just from playing a bit for fun locally, so please forgive those errors and many thanks for th e feedback.



are you drunk? B+ :)

<edit>and yes, customisable is planned, suggestions noted</edit>

It's a nice game though, sorry for being picky but I scrutinise stuff closely :)

@Caff: appreciate it, and it is a simple fix, almost done.
