SUBMISSION/UPDATE INFORMATION FORM
Program Title/Author: Cribbage Partner (version 3.00) by
James I. Crowther, Jr., P.O. Box 5253, Albuquerque, NM 87185.
Detailed Program Description: Cribbage Partner is the most
realistic and complete Cribbage simulation available from
Shareware or commercial sources. The player opposes the
computer in this popular and entertaining game conducted
rigorously according to the rules of Cribbage. Shuffling,
dealing, and bookkeeping are done automatically so the player
can concentrate on the strategy and (if he likes) the scoring
aspects of the game. A wide selection of playing options is
available which can easily be changed during play. (See the
file CP.DOC for complete documentation.)
Who is the intended user? Experienced Cribbage players,
those wanting to learn or improve their game, and anyone in
between.
If this is an update, improvements over old version: This is
an update. Improvements consist of the following:
- Support for a Microsoft-compatible mouse has been
added.
- Screen colors and playing options can now be
customized and saved.
- Full statistics are now kept and displayed at the end
of each hand and game. This provides a valuable means of
tracking performance in all categories of play.
- Easy/Hard switch now allows players to gear the level
of play to their experience.
- Sound can now be turned on or off.
- Scoring histories are now maintained for any number of
players.
- A few miscellaneous bugs have been fixed to include a
screen freezing problem, a display problem which sometimes
showed only one peg on the board for a player, and a scoring
problem which sometimes didn't count the last point for 'Go'
at the end of a hand.
Unique features of the program:
- Cards, pegs, and Cribbage board are represented just
like in the original game.
- Prompts and status messages explain the game situation
and all scoring.
- Any hand can be replayed to try out different playing
strategies.
- A computer recommendation can be called for anytime. - "Muggins" (cut-throat option) can be played.
- Full demonstration mode is included. (No two
demonstration games are the same.)
- Players can do their own scoring or have all scoring
done automatically by the computer.
- Playing options can be changed after every hand.
- Statistics and scoring histories provide players a
unique means of analyzing their play.
- Full documentation and Rules of Cribbage are included.
