Thank you for downloading BlackJack v1.5

This program is a calculator version of the casino game blackjack.
It is the best basic version that I have seen.
The reason why it's better is because you can hit, stand, double, split,
double on your split, Aces count as 1s or 11s (automatic by situation),
the display shows hands well, has menu for hit stand etc on screen with display,
it has a high score list which stores your best 5 high scores with initials without
using strings, has an auto save feature and loading feature, it is error proof
(at least to my knowledge), and last but not least, it's now optomized for speed.

To play blackjack download to calc pic1, blakjack, split, and lists bjhi and BJIK.  Sorry but you have to download all of the lists and pics because it will error if you don't because it unarchives and archives them before and after use.  When you want to play only unarchive split leave all other lists, pic1, and blakjack archived.  Run it from mirage OS if you have it, if not unarchive blakjack and run it from programs menu. The game will load to a screen with "new game, load game, help, highscores and exit." For new games, move cursor to new game hit enter and select a save slot 1 through 5 (note it will overright previous data).  Press enter and select bet by pressing up and down.  Select hit stand, double, and split by pressing the button under your selection.  Your hit values are displayed in the box under player while the dealers goes down on the right.  To quit press mode or del.  If you got a high score it will tell you then press the keys correspondent to your first and last initial.  To load game select the save slot it was saved in or hti 15 to go back.  To acess high scores press alpha when at main menu.

Note:::  you can quit by pressing ON like any basic program, but it is much better to use
the exit option because it archives everything but blakjack and split which saves ram space.


Thankyou and Enjoy

This is a Stetter Production
If you are caught playing this in school don't come crying to me.
I hope you have fun with my first game.

I appreciate feedback and comments so email me at chipmaster32@gmail.com

Known Bugs:
None that I am aware of

Upcoming updates:
Possibly a two player calc to calc version
Also the speed issue after long play and split use will be addressed
Number of lists used will be shortened hopefully to 2 or 1

Known Bugs:
On rare occasions it will return from split for no reason to blackjack when you get a push on one hand and a lose on the other.

Fixes:
The speed issue was well adressed.  Before it suffered from program fatigue (slowing down after long play), but now you would have to be playing for >30min to notice anything, and the rest of the time it is really fast!!  Also lists sent to calculator has been reduced from 5 to 2.  The high score list is now much faster.

Upcoming updates:
The two player calc to calc version may come out, but I am having trouble working with the get send features. If you know how to do this easily email me.
