Crazy 8's Game

post #1 of 10

Thread Starter 


I got bored with the start of the school year and decided to throw together a few card games. Here's the first one in my series. The game is "Crazy 8's". Rules are included with the game, so feel free to test it out and point out any flaws or improvements you find. It's uploaded as an executable Jar file, so you should just be able to download and double click to make it work. You will need the Java runtime environment. It should also work on all platforms. Let me know what you think.

Known Issues:
  • Occasional image buffering glitches remain when a player discards a card.
  • FIXED - When maximizing or restoring a window cards do not appear correctly.
  • FIXED - If the game proceeds long enough to shuffle the deck, there is a glitch with how the draw pile is display.
  • FIXED - The window likes to default to it's original open state (ie. certain size, not maximized, etc.)
  • FIXED - When a player accumulates more than 11 cards in a hand, there is some cut off and only half of the cards are visible.
Considered Improvements:
  • I may implement double buffering to cut down on drawing glitches.

you should make it MULTIPLAYER, that would be one hell of a project and a ton of fun.

Thanks for the interest guys!

Yes it is programmed 100% in java, quite easily too. The only tricky part was that my card deck image was a single file, and I had to extract subsections of that file to produce the image on each card. However, I can give you my solution for that if you're going to make a card game as well.

As for the networking comment... that's in the works. I was reading up on client-server type classes in Java and I'm still a tad fuzzy on it. I'd like to just send the entire windows contents using the send(Object) method, but I'm not sure how that would work as far as bandwidth goes. I think what I'll end up doing is just setting up a transaction sending/recieving where it checks the move clientside and does all the processing, then simply sends an int to represent card value and suit. That card then gets decoded and put on the top of the other player's deck. There's also a drawback because at the moment I have to invoke a couple extra methods for the AI to recognize the card that was played, and play the best possible card in the hand.

Either way it's a work in progress, and glad you're enjoying it. If you find any bugs that I haven't listed or improvements you could see, let me know.

Hey!
Seems like an interesting app but I can't find the link to download the .jar file...
Is it hidden or am I blind ?

I know this is a week old, but @gtoto00726 The link is in the OP's signature

@OP, I would be interested in your solution for the deck. Last time I made a card game in Java (Solitaire using ancient number systems for my history of mathematics class) I just made 52 separate images. Wasn't the best solution but it worked. When you say you just had a single image file, do you mean it was basically tiled? So 52 different images all in a single file, then calculated the pixels to cut out the individual image?

i.e.
Code:
int HEARTS = 0;
int SPADES = 1;
int CLUBS = 2;
int DIAMONDS = 3;

//Assuming each card is 150px*200px and the large image has 13 cards per row

int topRightX = card.value * 150;
int topRightY = card.suit * 200;
int topLeftX = topRightX - 150;
int topLeftY = topRightY;
int bottomLeftX = topLeftX;
int bottomLeftY = topLeftY + 200;
int bottomRightX = topRightX;
int bottomRightY = topRightY + 200;

//Cut out the rectangle within the four (x,y) points
