About this game
WAR Card Game_uvr is a computer game version of the card game "WAR" but with a medieval theme.
BACK STORY: You are an adventurer who is seeking a break from adventuring when you come across Ye Olde Inn and, when you go inside, you are challenged by the Oracle (the computer player) to a game of WAR. (Initially, you type in your first name so the game program can refer to you by printing your name on the screen and by speaking your name.) The Oracle suggests that you put your swords on the table and he conjures up a deck of cards for you to play with.
GAME PLAY: Right-clicking on the tabletop (the area of the screen with the wooden texture) brings up the Start Menu Panel. Clicking the Start Game Button starts the game and splits the deck of cards. Right-clicking again brings up the Game Menu Panel. Clicking the Deal Cards Button deals a single card from both your cards and the Oracle's cards. Right-clicking yet again brings back up the Game Menu Panel. Clicking the Compare Cards Button determines who has the higher face value card and awards the cards to that player. If the cards are of equal face value, then there is a WAR. When a WAR happens, each player turns an additional card down and an additional card up. Then, the up cards are compared and whoever has the higher face value up card wins all cards dealt. If the up cards are of equal face value, then there is a WAR level 2 and the process is repeated. The dealing and comparing of cards continues until either one of the players wins all the cards or a player runs out of cards during a WAR. The player who runs out of cards during a WAR loses by default.
FEATURES:
-GAME DURATION, ROUNDS AND LEAD TRACKING: The game tracks how long you play, the number of rounds played and who is in the lead and by how many points. The Oracle tells you who's in the lead and by how much both by speaking to you and printing text on the screen.
-AUTO-PLAY: The game has an auto-play feature that allows you to have the computer play out the game automatically either to the end of the game or until a WAR occurs. You can choose how rapidly the game is auto-played by setting the auto-play delay. The shorter the delay, the faster the game auto-plays. The auto-play delay slider decreases the delay when you slide it to the left and increases the delay when you slide it to the right. By default, the delay is set in the middle.
-PAUSE: You can pause the game. The Pause Button is located at the bottom of the screen only while a game is playing.
-SAVE AND LOAD GAME: You can save the game to finish playing another time. The saved game can be loaded by clicking the Load Game Button on the Start Menu Panel. There is a tool tip when you hover the mouse pointer over the Load Game or Save Game Button that tells you the date and time of when the game was saved.
-PLAYER NAME SAVE: The game saves your name so you don't have to type it in every time. Your name can only be ten characters long.
-CARD CONFIGURATION SAVE: The game also saves the configuration of the cards at the end of a game so the cards are more thoroughly shuffled the next time you play.
-CARD SHUFFLING: To shorten the game and prevent the cards from just going back and forth between the players endlessly, the cards are shuffled not only at the beginning of the game but also when the cards each player has won are transferred to the cards each player is dealing from. You can hear when the cards are being shuffled.
-ORACLE VOICE GENDER SELECTION: Also, you can choose the gender of the Oracle's voice in the Audio Menu.

Build 10614707: Time Limit Feature Update
Please update to Build 10614707 as soon as possible! This build has the Time Limit Feature update. How the Time Limit feature works works: To enable the feature, on the Start Panel, click on the time limit checkbox (under where it says "Time Limit:") so the box is check marked. Then, in the time limit input field, type in the number of minutes you want to play the game (ten minutes minimum). Then, click on the Start Game button to start playing. The game time remaining will count down to zero. At that point, whoever has the higher score is declared the winner. If the scores are tied, the game will be declared a draw. NOTE: There is an inactivity timer built in which will pause the game after thirty seconds while a timed game is playing. This is to discourage players from just playing a few rounds until they are ahead and then just waiting for the time to run out. I encourage you all to please let me know what you think about the new feature after you've tried it. Thank you. Jack Eisenfeld Developer of WAR Card Game_uvr P.S.: I'm sorry about the duplicate messages. I had a problem while posting this update that caused me to have to type two messages. This is the message you should take note of. Ignore the previous one.Read full article on Community Announcements (jacutus0fb0rg)Patch NotesOfficial
Build 10614707: Time Limit Feature Update
Please update to Build 10614707 as soon as possible! The time limit feature was added in this update. How to use the time limit feature: To enable the time limit feature, on the Start Panel, click the checkbox under where it says "Time Limit" so that the box is check marked. Then, in the time limit input field, type in the number of minutes you want to play the game (10 minutes minimum) and press Enter. Then click the Start Game button to begin playing. The game time remaining will count down to zero. At that time, whoever is leading (has the higher score) will be declared the winner. If the scores are tied, the game will be declared a draw. NOTE: There is an inactivity timer built-in that's set for 30 seconds. This is to discourage players from just playing a few rounds until they are leading then wait until the time runs out.Read full article on Community Announcements (jacutus0fb0rg)AnnouncementsOfficial
Requesting Player Feedback!
I'm working on a Time Limit feature for WAR Card Game_uvr before I work on the Achievements. I'm trying to shorten the game to a more reasonable length since it usually goes on for an hour or so or longer until the cards finally play out and there's a winner. It would work in the following way: The player would enable the feature by clicking a checkbox (on the Start Panel) which would enable an input field (also on the Start Panel) into which the player would type a number of minutes (currently ten minutes minimum) then start the game. The game clock would count down the game time remaining until the time limit is reached at which time whichever player is leading would be declared the winner. If there is a tie, the game is declared a draw. I would like player's and potential player's feedback on what they think should be the minimum time limit as well as how they think I should handle potential stalling on the part of the player. The player could easily win just by playing a few rounds until he or she is ahead and then just wait for the rest of the ten minutes to pass and win. I would also like feedback on what kind of reward(s) you think players should get for playing the game without the time limit and winning. I believe they should get some sort of longevity achievement award. What do you think? Please enter the discussion here or email me at wardevjack@gmail.com. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.Read full article on Community Announcements (jacutus0fb0rg)Patch NotesOfficial
Update Build 10483924 is now live! (Please read this announcement!)
The following changes were implemented in this update: -a yellow outline was added to the cursor (mouse pointer) so it could be seen more easily -the Game Panel was made to stay in place when you click either the Deal Cards or Compare Cards buttons so you don't have to right click every time to bring the Game Panel back up NOTE: The Game Panel does disappear when a WAR occurs or the game is paused (in order to make way for whichever banner is being displayed). When a WAR occurs, you will have to right click to bring back the Game Panel but the Game Panel will come back automatically when the game is resumed after being paused.Read full article on Community Announcements (jacutus)AnnouncementsOfficial
