Well it’s been a year between major updates (I seem to get the most time to work on this over Christmas/new years), but a new version of the Five Hundred is almost ready and will be released in the next few days.
I have been busy and have added quite a few new features, though! Such as:
- Achievements!
- Can easily check and download new versions
- Windowed, fullscreen, and borderless window modes
- Controls for volumes and game speeds
- Smoother animations
- Tweaked artificial intelligence
- New cardsets, tables and cardbacks included
In the background, there is a lot of work towards making an online multiplayer mode however I’m suffering from lack of people to test this with. It’s not far away, though!
I think you have done an excellent job with this program; congratulations!
I would like to make a suggestion that may not be too hard to implement : I would like to see a pause at the end of the bidding process to enable players to fully get their head around the bids that have been made, before that window disappears. Maybe it’s needed just for us older players whose memories are slipping.
