- Cribbage Version History
-
- ========================
-
- Version 2.3 - 11/19/96
- - fixed a longtime bug that didn't usually give you credit for
- having all four cards plus the starter add up to fifteen
- when counting points at the end of a hand.
- - changed some of the peg colors to make them easier to see.
- - someone told me that 2 points for getting 31 is not called
- a "go" but just "31". I put this in, correct me if wrong.
- - changed the option screen to more easily show that the muggins
- option depends on whether tallying is on or off.
- - broke up the documentation file to create a separate version
- history file, like I already have in Ginrummy.
-
- Version 2.2 - 06/26/96
- - fixed a bug where the noblank option did not work, instead
- it changed your name to "noblank".
-
- Version 2.1 - 04/30/96
- - added an option to manually tally the points of your cards.
- You only score the total that you give. (on undercounting)
- - to go along with the above option is the new Muggins option.
- If you count wrong, your opponent gets the point difference.
- - added a variable delay option for how long the dialog boxes
- stay up on the screen. The PAUSE command-line option still
- works, and will override the setting in the options file.
- - fixed a bug in the statistics that read the stats file wrong
- if you averaged 10 or more point in you crib.
- - added peg counting animations when scoring points.
-
- Version 2.0 - 01/03/96
- - added animation (movement) of the cards when drawing and
- discarding using a variable timing routine. (Well, sort
- of animations. Cards show up one at a time simulating the
- dealing, instead of all at once. Later I'll maybe add some
- real sliding of the cards around the screen and stuff.)
- - fixed a longtime bug in the statistics saving where if you
- changed your name to another name in the list that was not
- the first, it would overwrite the first name with the new one.
-
- Version 1.9 - 11/02/94
- - changed the registration address again, my phone number is the
- same though.
- - removed the graphic file for the card backs until I can do
- a better job drawing and implementing them. If you REALLY
- liked them, let me know and I'll put them back in later.
- - put in requested NOKEYBOARD "baby switch" that will disable
- most keyboard input during play and use the mouse only.
-
- Version 1.8 - 05/10/94
- - added the ability to read the pattern of the card backs from
- a random spot on a 640x350x16 pcx file, if present.
- - added the PAUSE option to not remove the score boxes after
- the usual 5 second wait so you can see the points better.
- - fixed a few small screen junk bugs.
-
- Version 1.7 - 03/04/94
- - when the starter is a jack, it now says correctlly says
- "heels" instead of "nobs" when scoring.
- - fixed a bug that did not count all five cards for fifteen
- scoring.
-
- Version 1.6 - 02/10/94
- - added a box that shows the scores after each hand played.
- - changed the CRC error checking routine to be more accurate.
- - greatly reduced the size of the executable file.
- - fixed a bug that didn't allow the screen blanker to work if
- you had less than four cards in your hand.
-
- Version 1.5 - 01/06/94
- - the new NODISK option was accidentally defaulted to TRUE,
- thereby no options or statistics could be saved or loaded.
- - fixed a bug that didn't allow keyboard play after using the
- mouse to cancel a command selection.
-
- Version 1.4 - 11/10/93
- - all keyboard keys now work when using a mouse so that you
- can now play with mixed controls.
- - replaced KEYBOARD command line option with the NODISK option.
- - added the VIEW command line option to view the documentaion file.
-
- Version 1.3 - 09/22/93
- - finally fixed the program so that the mouse can be used on
- Hercules and MDA graphics systems.
- - changed the NOBLANK option as workaround for people who cannot
- access their mouse in the Options, High Scores, or Statistics
- screens. It now eliminates all video paging.
- - fixed a bug that did not put the +/- sign in the options menu
- when using Hercules graphics and the keyboard.
-
- Version 1.2 - 06/25/93
- - improved the formulas when choosing cards to discard that take
- into consideration which player is holding the crib.
- - changed stats to separately track the average number of points
- in your hand and crib, and got rid of average hands per game.
- - moved the mouse pointer away from the middle of the screen when
- starting a new game to not block the box that says who deals.
- - enhanced the logic when choosing a card to play for the hints
- and for the computer player.
- - fixed a bug that sometimes did not end a hand after all of the
- cards were played.
- - corrected an error which sometimes waited a turn before ending
- a game when the human player pegged the last hole for a win.
- - added CRC checksum self-validation of the executable file to
- catch possible virus, hacking, or file corruption errors.
- - changed my address and phone number for those who want to
- register or have questions.
-
- Version 1.1 - 03/30/93
- - fixed a minor bug that indented the cards incorrectly when the
- dealer went next after a 'GO' was called.
- - corrected a few spelling errors in the program and in the
- documentation.
- - changed some of the screen layout and colors.
-
- Version 1.0 - 03/29/93
- - converted my GinRummy (4.1) card game to Cribbage.
