Boxcars Casino 1.0a Mod List
The following modifications have been made since version 1.0.
Many thanks to all who e-mailed with problems or suggestions.
Ñ Some large payoffs were causing the error message ╥-8, 2╙
or ╥-8,7.╙ This error has been fixed.
Ñ Many people complained that the game didn╒t handle large
numbers of chips well, especially in games with little room
for chips (i.e., blackjack). Four new high denominations of
chip have been added to solve this problem. The deposit and
table limits have not been changed╤otherwise the problem
would just return with higher chip denominations.
Ñ Craps now supports ╥place╙ bets on point numbers. You can
only place ╥to win╙╤perhaps ╥to lose╙ and other types of
place bet offered at some casinos will be made available in
a future version.
Ñ If you quit the program with an active stake, the stake will
still be active when you launch the application later. Some
people didn╒t like having to go to the bank at the beginning of
every session.
Ñ The B/W mode didn╒t work at all due to a minor bug. It╒s fixed
now. This mode is really intended only for the old Mac SE or
similar type, but if you happen to have a monitor that won╒t do
256 colors, you can use it.
Ñ The words ╥six╙ and ╥nine╙ are spelled out on the craps layout.
More like a real casino that way.
Ñ The way the ball bounces around in roulette has been slightly
improved. The old way did some funky things every now and
then that a ball shouldn╒t be able to do.
Ñ A 6-player poker game is now an option.
Ñ Whooops. Five-card stud was totally wrong! The cards that
should have been up were down, and vice-versa. This has been
corrected.
Ñ In both five-card stud and seven-card stud, the leader of every
betting round is now the player with the highest hand showing,
and leader of the first betting round must bet. (As you can
probably tell, I╒m not a regular poker player.)
Ñ The playing speed is now remembered separately for each of
the six games, and stays when you quit the program.
Ñ In blackjack, you can force the dealer to begin by clicking in
the card area on the right, if you don╒t want to sit through the
usual 3-second delay.
Ñ In roulette and keno, you can skip rapidly through the lengthy
animations by clicking the mouse.
Ñ You can now explode a condensed stack of chips into as many
chips as will fit in a stack, by shift-clicking it. (A condensed
stack is one that cannot be compressed any further.) Previously,
the only way to get large amounts of change was by breaking up
one chip at a time.
Ñ The manual files have been updated to incorporate all of these
changes.
After releasing version 1.0, we received many e-mail messages
like this: ╥I would have registered, but I found a bug,╙ or ╥I
would have registered, but there was a feature missing that I want.╙
Please do not let little things like this prevent you from
registering. We really need the money, and we pride ourselves on
being very responsive to reasonable requests.
