Gin Rummy Version 2.0 Released 4/12/93 Introduction. ------------ The Gin Rummy program can be run on any Macintosh computer. It needs 410K of memory and is 32-bit clean. I am releasing this program as shareware for $10. Gin Rummy is a card game for two people. A game consists of a series of hands, and it ends when a player accumulates 100 or more points. Then, the final scores are calculated and the player with the higher score is the winner. I will assume that you know the rules of Gin Rummy. If not, you can read the section on Gin Rummy in almost any book on card games, which you can obtain from your local library or bookstore. The product names mentioned in this document are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their manufacturers. The following tells you how to use this program. Start a game. ------------ When a new game starts, the computer will automatically cut the cards for each player to see who deals first. The player who cuts high must deal. Thereafter, the winner of each game deals the first hand of the next game. However, if you start a new game when the current game is not over, you will again cut for deal. You can start a new game or quit at any time by selecting the appropriate item from the game menu. After the cards are cut, you should click the "deal first" button on the button bar at the bottom of the window or select the "deal new hand" item from the game menu. The first hand of the game will then be dealt. Deal a hand. ----------- When a new hand is dealt, the dealer gets ten cards and the non-dealer gets eleven cards. The non-dealer starts by playing one of his or her cards. The winner of the hand deals the next hand. Get a card. ---------- You can draw the top card of the face down stock pile or pick up the top card of the face up discard pile. Choose by clicking the top card of the appropriate pile or clicking the appropriate button on the button bar. The card you select will be added to your hand at the far right and highlighted. However, if you click a pile and your mouse preference is "move as image," then you must move the card to your hand. You cannot draw a card if the stock pile contains only two cards. You can pick up the last discard or click the "hand is dead" button, in which case it is a draw and neither player scores any points and the dealer redeals the hand. Undo get card. ------------- You can undo the card you drew by selecting the "undo draw card" item from the edit menu. You can undo the card you picked up by moving it back to the discard pile. Or, you can select the "undo pick up discard" item from the edit menu. Play a card. ----------- You can discard, knock with a deadwood count of 10 or less, or gin if you have no deadwood count. First, you must highlight exactly one card that you wish to discard. Then, move the car…
