BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA!

Fixed the blackjack money problem.

EDIT: And the no continue button problem.

Here's the link to the actual (updated as of 7/30) beta: http://www.mediafire.com/?es5hxg7wp9h70gs


Alright, re-uploaded it, clicked the link and it worked fine.

Design Change!!

As you can see, I've messed around with the design. I kinda like it. Tell me if you do.

EDIT: Changing it back. I'm no design expert, and I was just testing it.

One more bug and getting rid of GRUB to go...

So... almost done. The only remaining bug is that when you get blackjack, your money just keeps going up until you click "continue". And I might have had that fixed last night, if it weren't for GRUB. Long story short, I installed Ubuntu on a ext. HD, which installed GRUB on my internal HD, and now I can't boot into Windows, which means I can't access my code.

EDIT: Got rid of GRUB. Here is link to beta-ish .ccgame file: http://www.mediafire.com/?ix1e1oit8ru1hfy

EDIT: With any luck, a zHD version should be coming out the end of August. Not really good with the touch controls, but the hard part is almost done.

...Two to go!!

I've recently gotten over some huge walls, and more thanks go out to Dirk for helping me again. Only two more problems.The first is that there are still some situations where the whole ace thing doesn't work out. The other is that cards that are "hit" go into weird positions. But everything else works great. I should have a completed player vs. dealer beta out by Wednesday.

New Video!!

Here's a new video of my progress:




Yes, I know there are more than a few bugs in it. I'm working on it.

WP7 Dev Tools

Right now, I'm trying to install the Windows Phone 7 developer tools, but they're being stupid and my computer is being extremely slow. I'm running out of disk space and I can't change the destination to install the tools. I need to do a fresh OS install.

EDIT: Restarted my computer, installing just fine now. :D

I thought I was there.

So... I've been working my a** off trying to get this thing done. There were just a few problems with the mouse clicks (see my zB thread) and card dealing/initialization (see my other zB thread). But now DiNoGames recommended that I do something (create a card class) to make things a lot easier, but I have to go back and change, well, pretty much everything. And my mouse problem still stands.

I've Made More Progress in the Last 3 Days...

This is EPIC!!!!! I've got my betting down, I can pick cards, and dealing is damn close to being finished. The release date keeps getting earlier- if I can figure out how to deal with the ace cards, and if I'm really really lucky, I might actually have a release by the end of next week.

I just realized something... I'm getting high off of game programming. Talk about being a geek- this is weird.


NOTE TO READERS WHO DON'T KNOW: The geek thing goes a while back. My family is one that lives off of physical labor and farms, so my relatives call me a geek to my face, due to my tech-savvy-ness. I've become proud to call myself one. So that's where the 'geek' references come from.

Testing

Just set up email posting, seeing if it works.

UPDATE ON BLACKJACK!!!

Things have been relatively easier now. The graphics are great, and thanks a ton for separating each card- it made my life a whole ton easier. I've successfully created each card, making them Texture2D's, and am working on the betting process. Heh, this would be a whole ton easier if my mouse was reading in the right positions. I've said it many times, and I'll say it again, thanks to Dirk Nordhusen(did I get that right?) for helping me out on that.

If all goes well, I actually might have a player vs. dealer beta out by mid to late July. Earlier than I originally thought- Yay!

Weird.

For some reason I can't comment on your post? Dunno.

Cards are separated, chips are also in there separately.

Moving Very Slowly

So... haven't really updated how the code dev is going lately. Right now, I'm working with Dirk (DiNoGames) to get my mouse listener working properly. Also trying to work out a method/function to initialize the cards. This stuff is really hard, especially without real Internet support.

Two questions OfficerHalf- I don't have your pics yet, but are the cards all separate images, or one big one? Also, can I get the chips separately if they're not in the package?
