Ninety Nine is a nearly lost card game my dad's godmother learned from gypsies is Norway. I want to preserve and immortalize this game, for which I have found no other computer games made. I build this game with vanilla JavaScript and some help from my friends Webpack, HTML5 and CSS3.
-note if you have any relation to this game pease contact me I want to hear about your experience.
Ninety Nine is a turn based card game that you play with 2 other computer players
- players are dealt a hand of 3 cards
- They take turns playing a card, adding the total value of the card to a running total count and drawing a new card
- They lose if you cannot play a card that would make the total more that Ninety Nine.
- there are 4 magic cards -[ ] 4: Play order is reversed -[ ] 9: PASS -[ ] 10: subtracts 10 from the Count -[ ] JACK: Sets the count to 99
I learned that putting turn logic inside a while loop wouldn't work as well JavaScript as did in Ruby games. I'm proud of this control flow logic that lets a computer take its turn slow enough for a human to see whats happening but when its a human players turn it waits for a click event.
takeTurn(player){
this.turnorder.shift();
if (player !== this.human ) {
setTimeout(function(){ this.computerPlayerTurn(player); }.bind(this), 1000); } else {
this.canvasEl.addEventListener("click",this.clickOnCard);
}
