black jack

For anyone interested in BlackJack, I wrote a simulator (about 500 lines of code) that enables you to plug in the kind of strategy you will be playing and then it will play a number of hands for you (it can play millions and millions of hands) and then you can see just how much money you will win or lose using that strategy.

To make a long story short, I have discovered that it is basically impossible to beat the casino when playing Blackjack. The best you can ever do is to come very close to breaking even. Any time you make a mistake, it helps the casino.

I wrote the simulator in Pascal before it was called Delphi. The programming is pretty basic and any experienced C or Pascal programmer shouldn't have much difficulty in understanding it or modifying it to accomplish your own goals.

But if any of you would like to see my simulator or would like to try your hand at modifying it, you are most welcome. Just send me a PM.

By the way, it was never written to distribute to people who could then modify it. It was written for the author (me) to have fun and investigate the results of various diff strategies. So - be warned - you should expect a rather lengthy learning curve if you want to try and use it.

I have recently installed Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas and I have just started to play with it.

Can anyone give me some advice on finding Help documents for this game?

I would really appreciate some basic help with being able to use the mouse and keyboard to accomplish basic functions - like moving around in the game and performing the basics.

Any advice?

Oops. I posted the above before beginning my search for help docs. I figured that I would always be able to find some on my own but that some of you who have played the game before would know of the location for the best help docs.

However, I just wanted to update that post to let you know that I have found a great number of help docs and so you may conclude that I don't need any additional docs. But, if you do know of some of the best ones, I would still be grateful for that info. Thank you.

The Last of Us. Yes, it is every bit as good as everyone says it is. This is the first time in a long time that I'm purposely playing a game very slow so I can enjoy every single moment of it.

Gamefaqs is about the best place to find help docs for any game. Here is the page for the PC version of San Andreas. Some of the docs say PS2, but they still apply to the PC version. It has just about anything you would ever care to know. Have fun playing this completely awesome game!

Hey Skinny,

Thanks very much for that link. I'm sure that I will make good use of that.


@System Folder->

You have found a real gem there in "The Last of Us". I have watched both reviews and I have to agree that it is one of the best video games ever.

The only problem seems to be that it's only available for the PS3. I looked in Craig's List and people want approx $300 for a PS3. I see you can pre-order the PS4, but I don't want to do that. I think I'll just hold off buying a PS3 and if I can't find a better solution, maybe I'll buy a PS4. But surely by the time the PS4 is available, this game will soon be available for it. Even better if it's available for the PC. Then I can just buy or D/L the game. In the meantime, I will have to contend myself with GTA-SA.

I wonder when the PS/4 will be available. If you think of anything that will help me acquire this game - especially for my PC - please let me know? Thanks

Solitaire in Win7 with a 35% win ratio out of 534 games. Phooey
Sims3, since a Assassin skill has been created its much too fun and very therapeutic.
Second Life, holy crap it's suckin me in but I will admit some people have some wild imaginations and others are complete pervs. People actually make real world money from the virtual worlds they created.

I'm currently playing Space Phallus, which basically involves shooting and blasting alien cock, balls and sperm, which come flying at you.

You can download the game for free, from here...

I thought I'd see why people seem to get addicted to Minecraft. I understand now.
