Been a while since I posted here... Work's keeping me busy, got a big backlog of list mail.
Just recently, somebody taught me to play a card game called Poker Solitaire... so naturally I had the idea to code it up for the 2600.
I use the English scoring system, except that I think a royal flush should be worth more than a non-royal straight flush, so I score 40 for the royal and 30 for the non-royal straight flush (though I have yet to actually get a royal flush in any hand!)
Joystick movement is a little wonky (try it)
And maybe the worst problem of all: The entire game only takes up the
right-hand side of the display. I'm drawing 5 cards, using interleaved
players 0 and 1 [snip] using NUSIZ0=6, NUSIZ1=2, so each card is 8 clocks wide, with 8 blank clocks between columns
When you first start up the game, the deck is being shuffled. I keep displaying the first 25 cards of the deck while it's happening, which I think might be the coolest effect I've ever achieved on the 2600 :)
So as usual, asking everyone for their opinion... does it suck? if so, can it be made to suck less? Does the fact that the display only takes up half the screen really matter? (this is a matter of taste I guess).
