Doing it all and doing it well.

So I have decided to go all out and make all the minigames I was deciding whether or not to make. As I was thinking, and so many people have pointed out... if a game's focus is on game play, then minigames only add to it and it's a no brainer. So yes, it will delay the completed release considerably, but it will definitely add more to the finished product than it will hinder it by a delay of release.

So, the first of three minigames is nearly done! Drumroll please...



Yay blackjack! I've got the system to recognize when there's an ace in play and gives a display on what number you would have if you were to count it as an ace or a one.

In addition to this, there's a card counter at the bottom of the screen that if you are able to draw five cards without busting, you win 8 to 1 on your bet! The only thing left to finish is the dealer's programming (hitting and standing).

The system can already count the value of the cards to see who wins, and the real bitch to code was making sure that the same card won't show up on the table more than once. That took ridiculously long to get working properly.

So next up as far as minigames are concerned is the racing game. I have a plan in place and I think it will go pretty well, but before work starts on that I will be making some more maps on the third continent.

More updates later!
