Bucket: A simple betting card game

[christosangelopoulos]

Eh, it's not those that would bother me but rather the automatic ante raise, although theoretically the number of deals could be raised to... hm, dunno what the max is. Could the whole ante thing be made optional? I mean, let the player decide what level of difficulty they want to be challenged with.

If you set ante raise at 0, it will work like that. What is more, when the ante raise number is high,like 100 for instance, the ante wil be practically stable.But you are right, I will better add a checkbox, and alter the accepted prices and make it more obvious and practical.

As far as the trophies are concerned, I need to think things a bit better, give some rewards once, or when the bet's sum is significant relatively to the player's sum.
Another question, very subjective, is raised : what should be the default values, for the initial sum,the ante?
Should the trophies, the sounds the ante raise be on by default?
I will be happy to receive feedback.

To be honest I actually wonder how come it works at all for me. Many times when I try to access some GitLab link my browser can't display anything at all on the page. All those "modern" web elements introduced by Gòógle that are hard to implement - or even forbidden by G themeselves - in other "classic" browsers have screwed up the web badly for some of us that don't want to accept the unacceptable.

I am not sure I understand the problem you are reffering to.

Done, the player through the settings can decide

• The ante value. 0 value evidently means no ante

Whether the ante will be raised or not(checkbox), and if yes, how often.


Additionally the player can opt in/out on the trophies, that will be shown

• on lucky bets(x38,x125,x1000

• on bets that win relatively significant amounts of money( >1000 , >10,000 AND the Sum/winnings ratio less than 3)

Alright, now it appears more easy to understand and therefore set up. Maybe set the default ante to zero so the user knows it's disabled, while the spinner arrows show it can be set to a specific amount and thus be enabled. Just an idea.

As for specifics about trophies, rewards and related stuff I'm probably not the best person to offer advices.Hopefully other amateur gamers will chip in.

It's nothing related to this game or your repository, just a generic issue I'm sometimes facing when trying to access some other GitLab repositories (or sections?). I'm using Pale Moon as my main browser, still based on XUL and certain "modern" web standards are not implemented - fully or at all - such as WebComponents, for example. As such certain websites display poorly or don't work at all. GitHub requires an additional extension to work properly and even then certain pages need to be reloaded in order to display all elements. GitLab doesn't respond to reloading when that happens though.

Ok,this sounds reasonable. Default ante:0.
And I am not looking for the best person's feedback, just yours(and anyone else's feedback of course!)
Your input shaping up all this, has been very helpful!

Thanks, maybe it's time for some fresh new ideas to come from somebody else - otherwise I'd have to be written up as co-author.

Oh you will get your honorable mention in the README, that 's for sure!

Those are already gone, now I'm betting my bed sheets.

That's about right. No shoes though, I lost those loooong ago.

Added a more intuitive settings button 🛠 at the bottom right of the screen, improve responsiveness, more code clean up.

In the Navy we sometimes had 8 or more so we used
multiple decks--might be a good feature.
It's harder to remember cards that have already been laid (not a specific joker pun)

As mentioned in the README:
NOTE: There is no use counting the cards, as the cards are independently generated in each hand.

In this other card game I wrote in parallel with this one(Blackjack), I do generate cards from a deck, which when finished, needs reshuffling.
However this is not the case in this game.

like this?

So you have the blackjack table too.
I've played quite a few pc type virtual casino apps, but none lately.
Most had cartoon-ish graphics with no attempt at realism, unlike this effort--not even close.
Next in line consider the "One Arm Bandit" your arsenal.

Look at the graphics and possibilities:

Those graphics will pop
Players could choose machines several choices antique thru modern
Certainly a more dimensional endeavor--

the devil made me write that

Alas, I know.
Any feedback on the default values?(sum, ante, deck, back)
Any ideas for improvement would be welcome and appreciated.

So how did you get into doing this---hopefully not a gambling compulsion.
