After some sporadic attempts at the tutorials over the years I finally started a new project here, deciding on cribbage to be my first game. I'm still very much new to coding online board games, though, and the task seems daunting at the moment. As such, I decided to post my "to-do list" here, in hopes that the expert programmers here can point me in the right direction as I go on. So, if you can help me in any way, thank you. Otherwise I'll keep plugging away at it until I figure it out; it might take awhile, but I'm not giving up yet.
1) finished Port over the code for Hearts as the basis.
2) finished Add basic game info.
3) finished Make a rudimentary user interface.
4) Have cards passed to a "crib" instead of other players.
5) Designate a player as the "dealer", and indicate this next to their name.
6) Have game start with person to dealer's left instead of the person with the two of clubs.
7) Change format from a trick-taking card game to instead add numbers to a count.
8) Visually show the current count.
9) Have cards playing stop at 31 (or under if unable to play), and start new round.
10) Add scoring during the game (pairs, runs, 15, 31, last card).
11) Add code to deal a "top card".
11) When round ends, score player hands (combinations of 15, pairs, runs, flushes, nobs).
12) Score the "crib" for the "dealer".
13) Visually show scoring of players' hands and "crib" with pop-ups, breaking down what they got.
14) Change scoring from negative points to positive points.
15) Show scores on a visual cribbage board, with "pegs" moving like a real-life game.
16) Update graphics and user interface to look better and show as much as possible without scrolling.
17) Add support for 3 and 4 players.
18) Test and perfect it.
