My first C game to be released

similar to my Basic version of Casio Patience Deluxe, only faster and smoother

have fun

[eew]

Can you write a sort game instuction. I can't find a way to (I don't no how to say this in Englisch) pick up a card, or whatever.

[Menno]

The game is operated with the Exe and arrow buttons

to pick up a card select it and hit exe

to paste a card select the card to paste on and hit exe

to select a stock of multiple cards select the desired card and push arrow up, the selection box will extend and in the left corner the last card selected is indicated, hit exe and the stock is picked up (you can only select multiple cards when they are visible)

to paste the stock select an appropriate location (if a king is last select an empty spot, if the last card is lower than a king fing an appropriate card to paste on)

to draw 3 three cards hit exe on the 8th stock, beneath it cards will be shown, move down and hit exe to pick up the card

undo a move by hitting del

you can paste aces on the four empty spots, when you have pasted an ace all successive cards of that symbol can be pasted upon it

so

exe and arrows and del are the keys. if you have picked up a card it will be shown in the card memory ( a card is drawn in the 8th colum, under th pick an draw stocks)

And? do you like it? and understand my howto, i'm not a native english speaker either

[eew]

Where are you from?

There's a bug with placing aces on the empty spots.

[Menno]

I can descibe the bug in Dutch

[Menno]

I can descibe the bug in Dutch

Ik denk dat ik het al weet, je kon de ace niet plakken omdat hij hem meteen weer knipte, ik heb hem echter bijgewerkt en in de filesharing toegevoegd als beta 2. Probeer deze versie want deze werkt beter. Laat me aub weten wat je ervan vindt

in english (free translation)

I think i already know what the problem was, you couldn't paste the ace because it was cut right after pasting it. I have updated the version and i guess it works. Please try this version (beta 2) and please let me know what you think of the game

Ben jij ook nederlands? of alleen nederlandstalig?

[eew]

Ik zal er naar kijken.

Nederlands.

You're Dutch also nice i am from Rotterdam have you joined casiokingdom yet? It is another nice forum with some nice people eager to help eachother programming.

may i ask why you own a 9860? is it for study or are just an enthousiast like me (i am 31 i am an engineer at a large research agency, we use the casio's as field pc's, i program dedicated software for the machines and i program games for fun and to enjoy my coworkers )

I rather use english in my posts because i think this is an english forum and people hate it when everyone starts talking gibberish

[eew]

Yes, I've joined casiokingkom but it't not very active. The reasaon why I own a fx-9860 is a bit complicated. I can sent you a pm. I can't say it in Englisch, al my languages (even Englisch ) are realy bad.

[kucalc]

Yes, I've joined casiokingkom but it't not very active.

Oh, it's active all right. I'm part of the programming staff there.

[eew]

A restart button would be very nice. Now I have to leave the game, enter another menu, and then enter it again to restart.

[Menno]

i know :| there will be an updated version with a reshuffle option

i found this annoying too

but i am struggling with saving and loading data....

i am not really an advanced c programmer i am still learning

but do you like it so far? (the game is not really popular seeing the downloads )

[Menno]

Hey eew,

I uploaded Beta3, when pushing the shift key during a game it will cause a re-shuffle



edit:
beta4:
I changed the key to Alpha (shift is needed to turn off the calc)

[eew]

I like it, i am going to downlowd beta 4 soom.

[eew]

I've won my first game . (and found many bugs in the end)

[Menno]

There are bugs in the end? tell me (in dutch) i will fix them

i need to implement a winning sequence anyway

edit:
Hey i had an unfinished game that was almost finished and finished it, i have seen some strange things happen indeed:

it seems that when you paste the king on the first three ace stocks the cards disapear, the fourth ace stock hasn't got this problem

when a ace stock has disapeared it seems the cards are realy gone cause you can't even cut from the stocks, the fourth stock keeps "cut-able"

(de plekken waar de aces geplakt worden verdwijnen wanneer je de koningen plakt op de vierde plek na, de verdwenen plekken zijn ook niet meer knipbaar.)

are these the bugs you have seen or are there more? I can fix the problems i have seen, cause i know what causes them. but i need to know if there are more strange things happening at the end

Well i have to go to work now, so i will read it in the afternoon

have a nice day eew

[eew]

Time for me to learn some English

There is one more strange thing in the end. When you go with te cursor (or whatever is is called) to the place were all the other cards where in the beginning (bad description). The J, Q and the K of the fourth not dissapeard stock go to the place beneath the place where al the other cards where in the beginning. Very strange.

[Menno]

Beta 5 released,

i fixed the bugs eew mentioned

also i added a options menu (during the game press 'optn')

here you can choose the number of cards that are drawn and you can chosse to reshuffle.

first delete the old version of patience (i got an error the first time, i don't know why )
