Open Source Game Development: Qt Games For KDE, PDAs, And Windows

Microsoft changed many aspects of the gaming experienced in Windows Vista in comparison to their previous operating system Windows XP. One of the major differences between both platforms was the redesign of all games to match the visual changes that have been introduced in Windows Vista.

Games like Minesweeper or FreeCell received a much needed visual update with improved graphics and audio. This was something that Microsoft has not done since Windows 95. Looking back most games that came preinstalled in Microsoft operating systems looked the same over the years. Minesweeper for one did not look that much different in Windows 95 and some people say that even experienced users would be hard pressed to tell the differences.

This has changed with Windows Vista. That has not been the only change though game wise. Microsoft developed new games that were included with Windows Vista. Looking back anyone will notice that previous operating systems were all shipping with the same games.

The most popular games of previous systems have been ported to Windows Vista. Nine games are preinstalled in Windows Vista on all editions of the operating system. Five games of nine are known from previous Windows operating systems. Included are the popular card games Hearts, FreeCell, Solitaire, Spider Solitaire and the game Minesweeper.

Additionally four new games are included that cater to a wide variety of tasks: Chess Titans, Mahjong Titans, Purple Place and Inkball are as different as possible.

Chess Titans and Mahjong Titans are conversions of the two popular boardgames Chess and Mahjong. Purple Place was designed for a younger audience and Inkball which is probably the only fail in the list of games since it was designed for Tablet users and is not that playable with a mouse in advanced levels.

Two additional games have been released for Windows Vista Ultimate users. Windows Vista Ultimate Hold ‘Em is a conversion of the popular Texas Hold ‘Em poker game which is probably the most popular card game in the world thanks to the Poker craze.

The second game is called Tinker. A strategic game where the player has to guide a robot from start to exit avoiding obstacles in the way. It ships with 60 levels and does come with a level editor and download levels created by other players.

Microsoft created an interesting variety of games for Windows Vista users that can all be accessed in the excellent Windows Vista Game Explorer which acts as a central game hub on the system.

Recently the pace of quantitative growth of online casinos is slowing down, which is due to the satiety of the market and new anti-gaming laws. At the moment casinos try to attract clients by improving service and increasing the amount and quality of games. For instance, online casinos software company “Microgaming” has been adding four games every month for the last two years. The company “CryptoLogic” develops service packs with about ten games every several months. New games appear in PlayTech and RTG casinos. Certainly, the leadership among new games belongs to various slots, mainly video-slots with a great number of lines, bonuses or simply with new graphics. However, ordinary table games (card games against the dealer) are being developed as well. Let’s look closer at the latest innovations in the online casinos.

Let’s start with the solitaire. Yeah, it is old good “Klondike” that firmly occupies its place in the standard set of Windows games. Now the CryptoLogic casino also has this game, but it is called “Solitaire”. I will not retell the rules of the game – if you do not know them, launch the game and see by yourself. If you want to train in the very casino version, install parameters “deal cards one by one” and “account for money” and you will receive a clear idea of what you will encounter in the casino. In the beginning of the game, you stake from 1,04 to 52 USD (52 USD are embedded also in Windows Solitaire) and you will receive from 10 cents to 5 USD for each card, put in its proper place. So if Solitaire is completed, you win five times more than the initial stake. But even if Solitaire is not being completed, you receive some money back. As you see, if you place 11 cards, you will be in pocket. Unfortunately, the analysis of the game is too complicated and information about expectation is not available yet.

The fantastic popularity of the online poker club preconditioned the appearance of following games in the casino. First, the game Casino Holdem was developed, which is now available in casinos RTG, PlayTech and CryptoLogic; a little later there appeared Tequila Poker (PlayTech).

So, the Casino Holdem is the game that really resembles the holdem-poker. At first players must stake the ante, then the player and the dealer take two hole cards and at once the flop is dealt. The flop means three open board cards (one pack with 52 cards is used). Looking at five cards (hole and flop), players must make the decision whether they will continue the game or not. If the game continues, the player stakes the blind in amount of two ante, otherwise he discards and loses the ante. If the game continues, the dealer deals two cards more – turn and river – and showdowns. The combinations of the player and dealer are compared according to rules of the Texas Holdem – the higher poker combination, formed by five cards, wins (it is possible to use from 0 up to 2 hole cards and from 3 up to 5 board cards). Like in the Oasis-Poker, the dealer can have “no game”. If the dealer has less that pair of fours, the player receives winning in the amount of ante, but not only one ante, but in accordance with the winning table, where winning varies from 1 ante for straight and lower up to 100 ante for royal-flesh (the main blind returns to the player). If the dealer has the game and his combination is higher, all blinds of the player are lost. If combinations are equal, the winner is determined by the seniority of cards remaining. If the dealer has the game and his combination is lower, the player receives payments on ante in accordance with table and on the main stake as 1 to 1.

Depending on table of payments, the advantage of casino in the game makes up near 2%. Taking into account the variety of possible combinations, it is practically impossible to develop the optimal strategy. However, one can roughly say that the player must play about 82% of dealings. The player should discard, if he has two small unpaired cards, does not comply with the flop and he can’t hope on the straight/flash.

In addition to the main blind, the player can make an additional bet on the field marked as “AA”. The player wins the additional stake, if his 5-card combination on the flop is formed by pair of aces or higher. In this case, the player will receive payments in accordance with table from seven up to 100 times of the stake amount. The advantage of casino by the additional stake makes up little more than 6%.

Tequila Poker is far from the club poker, but it has some features that make it closer to Blackjack or even Baccarat. So, the game needs the pack with 52 cards, before dealing the player stakes the ante. After this four hole cards are put on the table. Here the player has to make his choice, he can refuse to continue the game, losing the ante, or he can continue the game Tequila Poker or continue the game Tequila High, making the main stake at the amount of the ante. If the game continues, two hole cards are dealt more and five cards are chosen from them to form the best combination. If the player has chosen the game Tequila Poker, the combination is formed according to the standard poker rule. The hand with pair of aces and higher is considered to be a winner. If the combination is lower, the player loses all stakes, if it is higher, the ante is paid as 1 to 1 and the main stake multiplies in accordance with table of payments that is generally looks like the Video Poker one. If the player has chosen the game Tequila High, points of his five higher cards are summed. Points are accounted as in Blackjack (cards from two up to ten according to nominal value, pictures are valued as 10 points, aces – 11 points). The player is to receive minimum 46 points for winning. If he receives more than 45 points, the ante is paid as 1 to 1 and payments on the main stake are made in accordance with table (maximum 54 points with payments 200 to 1).

As you understand, here the optimal strategy is also very complicated. I will only say that the player is to play Tequila High in 30% of dealings, Tequila Poker in 32% and he is to discard the remained 38% of dealings. You should play Tequila Poker if you have any pair or four cards for straight/flash (including an inside straight). You should play Tequila High if you your three higher cards give 28 or more points. The advantage of casino at the play with the optimal strategy will make up 4,2%.

Whether its action, adventure, role-playing, sports, kid’s games, or any other category you seek, Mac offers an incredibly diverse and rich gaming experience. The newest Macs also offer an easy to install application which allows users to run Windows games from their Mac. Though earlier Mac versions weren’t as gaming friendly, the current ones have eased porting of many games. Whether running on a Mac or through the use of a Windows running system, the Mac will provide performance roughly equivalent to a similarly equipped Windows PC.

The ideal situation for the creation of Macintosh video games is to have them developed simultaneously with the Windows version. This way the original programmers are available for any questions or troubleshooting that comes up while creating the game. This also usually allows a simultaneous roll out of both Windows and Mac versions to the marketplace. While ideal, this rarely happens. There are only a few companies that develop games for both the Mac and Windows systems simultaneously.

What usually happens is that the high dollar games that come to Mac are actually created for Microsoft Windows. They are then later ported to the Mac system via one of the relatively small number of porting house companies. Two of the early video games that were converted to Mac were Microsoft Flight Simulator (1986) and SimCity (1988). One notable exception was Myst (1993), which was actually developed on the Mac and then imported to Windows a year later.

Since the majority of games are not developed with the initial Windows version, the roll out tends to lag behind the Windows version, usually by several months. This is the typical scenario for most high budget games that require an extensive amount of time to play and are graphically intense. However, there are many companies today that create original Macintosh video games that are of the more casual variety. These are games that consist of simple graphics and easy to play in short bursts.

One thing to consider when looking for Macintosh video games is that there is not enough shelf space in brick and mortar stores to justify carrying a full line of Macintosh games. With Macintosh’s small share of the market, it just doesn’t make sense to stock up on these types of items. Therefore, to get the best selection, an online retailer like Amazon.com will be your best bet, for both selection and price.

Another option for Mac users is to play PC games using a Windows based operating system on their Mac. This can be accomplished a few different ways. Since the Intel processor was introduced into the Mac platform, users have been able to simultaneously run the Mac operating system alongside the Windows, without having to reboot their computer. There are free applications available online for Mac users to set this up on their system
