It was a bit hard when the download was a png picture and hard to know if that was part of a joke.

Nevertheless the game is really fun and very playable, great irritating level and BONUS collection feature.
Kind regards, Peter.

Cool, I was feeling silly. I didn't think anyone would have time to try it until maybe the 1st. Haha and I noticed the png mistyped as prg a few hours later before correcting that. The prg is there now.

My actual shift is a renewed appreciation for the built in character set. I had fun with little animations.

The game is fast and the card animation is cool.
Kind regards, Peter.

Was mildly annoyed I couldn't use the address book component but that game was fun. ;)

My thoughts too. As a serious application, I would have appreciated such an address book.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, mind you. It is fun to play.

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! I was making fun of myself. I'm pretty one-dimensional in this regard: when I turn on my computer, I think, "What do I want to do? I know! I want to make a game in BASIC!" haha I would have made a working application too if my narrow memory limitations allowed for it. Also, I have a hard time keeping interest when it's not a game! :lol: Thanks for playing. My high was just over 50$. What's yours? 99 seemed pretty good!

I was stuck below $50 and after ~30 minutes I hit $190. Should have taken a screenshot :D

Well, like real casino games, there is clearly nothing a player can do to affect the outcome of this game. It is all random chance.
A high-score list might be fun, but it cannot be a measure of skill. Practice alone will not help you to improve.

Parapsychology skills perhaps :shock:

I tried it today. Really nice animations and effects! Nicely done, but the 100% randomness of the game play didn't appeal to me much.
