Re: Starter Card

at this point the non dealer should cut the pack and the dealer turns over the top card after the cut point and this is the starter card.
This has been implemented in the latest version.

Re: Starter Card

the same way you do Actually I'm Irish :-) But the game tries to keep to the American standard to keep the majority happy. That board you mentioned is in the game when you play short games - I'll look into adding an option to allow play on it for long games. 4 (and 3) player cribbage has been reque...

Re: Starter Card

I believe there are differences between English rules and American rules - I read something about being dealt five cards instead of six and only discarding one not two. Is this true? Anything else different?

Re: Starter Card

Yes looks like you are right - from wikipedia:

The player on the dealer's left cuts the undealt portion of the deck (leaving at least 4 cards), and the dealer reveals the top card, called the "starter", placing it on top of the deck face up.

I'll add it to the ToDo list for the next version.

Re: Hearts AI

Good to hear its not so often. I improved the AI in the last version (Macs/PCs), but it still needs work in some situations. I'll add the cards played output to the logfile in the next version.

Re: Solitaire 3D games missing cards

This problem may be fixed up in the latest version just released but I'm not sure as haven't been able to reproduce the problem myself. There were a few fixes made that could fix it up though, and some error checking for this problem added also in the latest version.

Re: Application runs slow and crashes since last upgrade

I'm finishing up a new version these days. Now is a good time to send any crash reports if the game is crashing your iPhone or iPod Touch.

See the Generating Crash Reports thread for details.

By the way there have been a few bug fixes to the deck editor within the game in the latest release. Now editing custom pictures should work fine (didn't work before on Macs), and custom pictures auto-update within the deck editor when you save the picture externally. Creating custom card decks is q...

Great points, thanks. I could do with some more explanation of point 2, but good as is.

Re: Card Designs

If you design your own deck, then in the deck menu you will see a "Print" button. This creates pdfs of your deck for printing out. Its up to you to get the pdf files printed out on proper paper and get them cut, but it can be done, or maybe a local stationary shop could do it for you.
