[New Release][Game] Blackjack!

[Fuzzgtp]

I believe this is the first game released on Boxee and the first one I've written Python.
This is something I worked on yesterday as a proof of concept.

To come:
- High Scores stored my website.

- I'll be releasing more games soon. Like i said above, this was just proof that could be done. I'll be working on a multi-player game next, that lets you either
a) player with people on your friendslist
b) play with random players online

As always you get can this of my repository dir.fuzzthed.com
Enjoy!

Bug - Only plays through one deck of cards before running out (oops) forgot that haha

[avneron]

once you add these features it will be a killer app!

[SorryGoFish]

Yeah, clearly this is a really promising proof of concept. Is it possible to register a new app section -- "Games" or "Applications." I guess there will be some debate about this. As another example the Weather application doesn't seem like a "Video" application to me either.

I wrote a flash library to allow games to be played from within boxee (although they have to be written for it).. The progress is currently stalled, but I do have http://gameroom.xmcnuggetx.com/index.php?p=game&id=Klondike as a proof of concept. I really need to get a couple more games finished and get it up.

Yeah i thought about going this route, but figured i'd look pretty ugly with Boxee constantly showing the menu at the bottom, and moving the volume up and down.

Updated: ver1.1
Changes:
*Betting!
*Saves your game automatically and you can choose to continue your game where you last left off.
*A menu
*Several Bug Fixes

Still to come
- Submit your scores online and view top 100ish scores in game
- Double down and Blackjack insurance
- Anything else you can think of :)

Along with double down/insurance the first thing that comes to mind is splitting Aces! And then resplitting more Aces if I get that lucky!

I have not installed the game yet but shall do it later tomorrow and try it with my mc remote and my ipod touch as well. Looks like fun.

Perhaps adding in some statistics that can be reset, such as total win %, total time played, some fun stats for all.
