Card games in Ren'py?

#1 Post by WolfHunner »

Other than solitaire is it possible to program other card games like poker, blackjack or trading card games?

If you can imagine it and have the capability to program it, you can make pretty much whatever you want. Easier said than done in most cases, but there aren't really any special limits in Ren'py.

It is possible. There is a card game made using RenPy, I forgot the title but it's made by Jack_Norton, a professional indie game maker in this forum. Of course it's a commercial game. Anyway, that only prove that it's possible to make a card game using RenPy. However remember that it may be not easy to make.

I made a card game for Ludum Dare: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 11&t=14935

The source code is there and you are welcome to crib off of it.

It's difficult, but you could probably code a working card game. That's the easy part. The tricky bit is programming AIs.

After last games (like Reigns) it seems very interesting game mechanic, not as main gameplay, but as addition. Seems it is very easy to make with layers. I mean cards as a choice mechanic, not diificult card game with rules.

My own game did Blackjack (http://games.renpy.org/game/lady-lucks-due-blackjack) in Renpy. It was my second game I coded. I still can't believe it's 4 years old.
