14 days till the deadline for the current online text gaming code challenge - March 27, 2007.

This challenge makes use of the prior Card & Deck challenge. The challenge is to create card games within your mud.

Challenge Title: Card Game Framework and AI Play

The Challenge: Build a series of functions or classes that will allow users to play a card game with each other, or with an artificial interface. The software should be expandable enough to allow for multiple card games using your code. ( blackjack, poker, spades, solitaire, etc )



There are some great prizes for this challenge: MudMagic is providing a 500.00 USD check, 1 year paid hosting ( 300.00 USD valued ) and MushClient is providing a free release! There are some in-game benefits available too from our Game List administrators.

The winner will be announced at the semi-annual FidoCon Event March 30th, 2007.


Thank you to all the developers that are participating.

*LOL* I _like_ that. Similiar to the stances that players take up in fighting, users can set poker faces. Pretty interesting =) That'd probably be a small challenge though. I'm going to push this contest to a yearly event - so it should be something that can be designed and worked on over the course of a year.

I didn't know there was a mud programmer of the year, but MudMagic will definately put the best programmers forward with this yearly challenge. Elanthis has given some awesome ideas for the challenge ( I'm still working on deciphering them ). Thanks for the idea on the challenge Scandum!
