This is an X windows based game of the casino game blackjack.
|
|
The program is currently written to use the Qt toolkit from Troll Tech.
|
|
For more information on Qt see "http://www.troll.no/".

I have always enjoyed the game of blackjack. When I first played in
|
|
a casino I lost all the money I had brought. After reading some books
|
|
on blackjack and the FAQ for rec.gambling.blackjack, I now know that there
|
|
is a basic strategy to follow. The strategy is based on the odds of each
|
|
hand and the dealers up card. I wrote this program so I could practice
|
|
the basic strategy of blackjack. The basic strategy is in the program
|
|
and a help level can be set to help the user learn to play by these rules.
|
|
My blackjack game has improved greatly.

I first wrote this program in tcl/tk. It was OK, but I have trouble
|
|
remembering all the syntax and parsing rules. The tcl/tk version was also
|
|
noticably slow on my 386 running Linux. Qt has been very good as a C++
|
|
GUI library and is not slow at all on my 386.
