This is a game which i recently wrote in C. Test it out and see if it can crash on you...:(

It seems to work fine and with only minor bugs on my windows XP, P4 machine.

Its got over 1200 lines of source. I have included the source code, so if your interested in C programming, take a look;)

C in hardware specific, so if it does happen to work on your machine, tell me what you think!

Finally, dont expect nothing fancy on the front-end.. C is a medium-level programming language so a User Interface isnt such an important thing.

EDIT: Do not download this archive. Download the one at the botom of the thread, its the new version. :cool:

very nice program, just out of curiosity though, why not use a vector as your deck object? That's what I've always done because you can easily add/remove elements (Granted, I've only done this in Java) But I'd imagine C is similar

Thanks.

Vectors arent included in C programming as it is procedural opposed to object oriented.

Using a DAT file to store the cards seemed an easy option. I should have used a binary file, though.

Ah, I didn't realize C didn't support them. C++ does, correct?

Java not powerful enough??

Java is capable of wonderful things! Though, C++ is arguably more powerful...

We are currently writing applications which control robots from a web interface;) Pretty powerful stuff, buddy.

but as you said, c++ is arguably more powerful, especially when working in the 3d realms...

cool;)

Thats the old version now.. I have made it way better. You can save your game and then load it up later. :)

The gameplay is better now, too!

Ok, this is the new version;) It retails for about $1,200 per copy. I accept cash only!

I have added a few pointless things like the ability to save and load games. It also looks a bit cooler now and the gameplay is smoother.

Extract the files into a directory of your choosing and then run the exe file. I have included the source code for people who would like to check it out.
