euchre
I wrote a euchre game about a year ago, my first game, and haven't done any work on it since then (been too busy). Please try it and let me know what you think. I'll post the source in a day or so if anyone's interested. It's set up so that the basic 'evaluator' class is abstract, so anyone can write their own ai for the game. Then, the new evaluator can be added to be used by the game from the 'new game' menu option. There are still some bugs and the bidding interface, while working, is in an unfinished state. It's supposed to be network ready, but I didn't get around to finishing that part (I only had a couple days to write it in). There are two jar files:
http://www.geocities.com/java_lynx2001/euchre.jar
http://www.geocities.com/java_lynx2001/euchreres.jar
The euchreres.jar is about 400k and contains all the card images. They probably could have been made smaller, but it should only be a one time download. euchre.jar is ~75k, and is an executable jar. I wrote it for 1.3.1 and it seems to lock on 1.4, although it works great on 1.3.1,so I don't recommend using 1.4 ;)

Ahh... They are working links, but it's not an applet. So the jars need to be downloaded, then run. euchre.jar is an executable jar, and both jars need to be downloaded. I guess I wasn't very clear in my original post. Sorry about the confusion.m
Also, there are three different levels of ability for the ai. So, some players are worse than others. The players also adapt over time and become more conservative or cocky depending on how the play goes. If you find it too easy, try the players nearer the bottom of the combo, or create some of your own.

That is very strange. When I click on them, they work..... How about this? http://www.geocities.com/java_lynx2001/euchre.htmlI don't understand why they don't work for you two. I've tried it with Mozilla, NS, and IE. What sort of message do you get?
Nice game, though i dont kno whow to play. I havent read the rules yet.
But I found a bug inside the game. There seems to be a check, if I play the right card, anbd if i dont, there is a Renege Check message or so.
If this appears, the game hangs. I checked the console, there are no messages.

Someday I'll try to figure out how to make it work with 1.4, but I unfortunately just don't have the time right now.Thanks for looking at it though. If you do end up trying it with 1.3.1, please let me know what you think.Thanks,m
I am a Euchre fanatic and play often (either online, face-to-face or versus computer).
I, too, have not been able to get any of your links to work. I look forward to playing your game and being able to review the source code. I've been wanting to write my own game since I am very disappointed with Bicycle Euchre (idiotic AI).

Anyone interested in the game, I'll put the link back up ASAP. Please keep in mind that you should use 1.3.1 to run it and avoid the deadlock problem. One of the things I was going to do was to change the UI a bit, which I'm pretty sure would solve the deadlock problem (I'm using modal dialogs for some of it), but I jsut haven't had time. I'll try to put the links up by the weekend for whoever is interested.
Thanks,

ps: If you don't like my ai, the ai class is abstract and you can write your own and easily create computer players using your ai class.
