Cribbage Plus

Maybe you enjoy the classic game of cribbage, but you've often wondered what would happen if you, for instance, received 2 points for 14s instead of 15s. Or if you could peg to a number besides 31. In my new cribbage game, titled Cribbage Plus!, you an customize your game with these and many other optional rules too! For the purists out there, if you wish to play pure, standard cribbage, no problem! The game defaults to the standard rule set. However, if you wish, you may apply the following customizations:

• Count other numbers instead of 15. This can also be randomized so that it is a different number each hand!
• Peg to other numbers instead of 31. Just like the 15s, this can also be randomized for each hand.
• Swap a card with your opponent each hand.
• Peg points for flushes! This adds a whole new element to pegging strategy.

Play against three difficulty levels (if you choose to register). Keep track of your win/loss record, your average scoring habits, and more statistics! Earn achievements by making spectacular plays, and unlock different tables to play on! For further information, visit http://www.guslindquist.com/software.html.

What is new in this release:

• Fixed a bug causing the "Suggest Play" function to be enabled even when 31 was reached and no play was required other than to continue.
Fixed a bug causing the bevel buttons below the cards to not function properly when clicked on for selecting crib cards.
• Fixed a bug causing the game to sometimes incorrectly assign opening lead on 2nd and subsequent games.
• Fixed bug causing Cribbage Plus! to think MacOS 10.6.0 was actually earlier than Leopard (and adjust according to Tiger's constraints)
• Added ability to earn Achievements.
• Added multiple table backgrounds, unlocked by obtaining achievements.
• Added a menu option to check for updates and download if desired.
• Added the version number to the "about" screen.
• Removed the default status from the "close" button on the Records window.
• Fixed a minor bug where the records window wouldn't update right away with a change in profile.
• Added a preference to choose to hide the "suggest play" button.
• Added a preference to have the option to always have your dealt cards ordered sequentially.
• Program now stores a hash xml file, which validates the averages, records, and new achievements xml files. This way, anyone who tries to edit such files to cheat will invalidate the files.
• Text that displays the cribbage "count" numbers, that is, 15 for 2 points, or 31 for max count and 2 points, is now invisible unless the count is either non-standard, or randomized.
• Cleaned up the cribbage board graphic further, adding numbers, an S for the skunk, "Start" and "Finish".
• Resumed support for MacOS 10.4.x (must redownload within the app).
• Minor bug fixes

Limitations:

In the trial version, you may only play on the novice difficulty level. You also may not earn achievements.
