Native iBlackjack for iPhone

Very very impressive. My girlfriend loves Blackjack and so plays your game for 30 minutes+ at a time.

I've had the application crash on me a few times though and take me back to the Springboard which I guess is better than other apps that crash the entire phone.

I've noticed weird things too with the dealer not hitting until 17 and standing < 17. ALso, sometimes the dealer shows 3 cards and doesn't bust but the game says he does. But all in all, very impressive :).

Thanks, I haven't had Alpha 2 crash on me yet but I'm sure it's possible if you play for so long. I may improve the game's logging so I can be sent a file after a crash detailing what happened.

As far as the dealer stuff, yes I discovered too it needs a lot of work. It will not hit past 3 cards. I'll hopefully have an update within the week, last week was too busy to sit down and make an update.

Thanks for the input!
 
I installed a lot of things on my iPhone with the installer.app, including your game. When I tried to play it, my phone froze. I couldn't restart it or anything. iTunes would sync though, so I had to do a restore

I want a clone of myself! ;)

I'll hopefully be releasing a new Blackjack later this week, last week was hectic.

As far as the freezing, not sure that problem because nothing in the game should lock up the phone. Sounds like a glitch with Installer.app and how it installed the game. Did a power on/off of the phone not fix it? That seems fairly odd that you had to do a restore.

I tried to power off the phone, but I couldn't even do that. I'm not sure what caused the problem. At least I was able to restore

i didn't try that. i held the top button down for 6 seconds and nothing happened. your saying i hold that and the home button at the same time for 8 seconds?

I'm not sure if it's 8 seconds but it's around there. Yeah to force reset the phone you hold the top button AND the home button down and keep holding them down until the iPhone resets.

Just holding the top button brings up the options to shut down the phone but if your phone is crashed that won't work, hence why you need to do the hard reset.

In a way, I wish real casinos played the same way your app is :p. That way, dealers have to stop hitting after 3 cards and so they stop with say a 10 or 11 and I win :D

Sadly I fixed that bug in the next version. Trying to get more features added in before Halo 3 comes out. ;)
 
Bug on 14? It's happened to me a couple times now, but only on 14 that I've noticed. When I stand on 14 and the dealer gets a combination equal to 14 he also stands and the hand results in a push. I'm using version Alpha 3.1
 
Keep bankroll

Great application. One feature request, can you set it so that when you quit the game and restart your bankroll continues where you left instead of going back to default of $200?

That is currently on the road map for the 1.0 release. So it may come in the next version. Keep your eyes peeled!
 
Awesome, just tried it out. I had some difficulty swiping downwards to double down... had to do it a few times.

The animation seems slower too. Was this on purpose?

Other than that, great app :)

Animation was slower due to complaints from how fast the pacing was before, but obviously too slow.

I heard the pleas of the people and it's back to being faster, and the game pace is still there. It just has a slight pause/delay after the dealer flips his card.

Alpha 3.2 is out now, with that speed fix and a fix for the "Push on 14" issue that juxel found. Installer.app should pick it up today, if not use my private repository until then.

Instructions here:
http://code.google.com/p/iphoneblackjack/wiki/Installation

Keep up the feedback, I want to get this game pretty solid by 1.0.
 
Hey everyone! I need a day of quick testing assistance for my next version if iBlackjack. I have a new alpha 3.9 on my private installer.app Repository.

* Enter the URL http://www.iphonefanclub.com/native on your iPhone's Safari program.
* It'll ask you permission to add my private repository to your Installer.app. Say yes.
* Now it should show iBlackjack alpha 3.9 in the Games category on the Install tab of Installer.app.
* Click to install it, and it'll prompt you if you want to trust this source. Say yes.
* As updates are made, you'll get notifications going forward in Installer.app.

Let me know if you have any problems today so I can release alpha 4 this later today/tonight.

An overview of what was changed can be found on the project home page:
http://code.google.com/p/iphoneblackjack/

Thanks!

I get the error "Safari can't download this file."

Do you have Installer.app installed? If so, restart the iphone/ipod that usually fixes that problem.

If not, that's the cause of the error. That URL is for Installer.app only.

Patrick, I had the same problem. I ended up adding the repository via the Installer app. On the Sources pages of Installer you can edit (add) sources and that how I got your source to work.

Great app, now that it can save the bank I will gladly donate. :D
