Jacoby Card Games
Jacoby is a series of card games I've written based on a Tcl/Tk card-game core. The idea was that all would share a common set of library routines. Unfortunately, they've currently diverged. Sometime I hope to unify them; until then, they're still fun to play.
These games were developed under Unix, but they should run reasonably on PC and Mac versions of Tcl/Tk. I haven't done the release engineering needed to make them easily installable on those platforms, but I'm happy to take suggestions.
- klondike
- Klondike
is a solitaire game for X11. It's strongly influenced
by the user interface of Klondike for the Macintosh.
Features of klondike include:
- time-based and Casino-style scoring
- persistent high score list
- on-line help
The current rlease of Klondike (1.9) requires post-4.1 Tk or any older version of extended-Tcl/Tk.

- dontspace
- Dontspace
is a solitaire game for X11. It's modeled after
the game ``Free Space'' distributed with Microsoft Windows NT.
Dontspace emphasizes a clean user interface and point-based
scoring.

Thanks to Scriptics for providing the Windows .exe. I can't imagine having to write my own klondike installer for Windows; their TclPro Wrapper lets me avoid that.
