Blackjack Level!

Archive: 8 posts


I know it sounds sort of crazy, but Ive come up with a mental working model of a minigame based around a variation of card game Blackjack. The rules are simplified, and it may take time to process, but here you go:

-The player will be at the start presented with an option to 'Stick' or 'Hit', as 2 grab switches.

-Hit will trigger an emitter to produce a small block in an enclosure, triggering a delay switch to commence, once it reaches the end it will then trigger a piston at high speed to flip the block to the east, reacting with the bottom of a wheel before falling down and reacting with another magnetic switch to dissolve it. The wheel will constantly be turning and will contain 13 switches along the outer perimeter, each representing an emitter which will in turn produce the corresponding card behind the player in an enclosure on the back thick layer. A Conveyor belt will be below, showing the player their past cards. There will be a magnetic key placed in the enclosure, and on each card a corresponding number of switches. Above all this, a set of weighing scales lies, holding 2 large hollow circles. One on the right will contain 21 smaller solid circles, and the left will contain an emitter producing these, one for every switch on every card, making a total of 95 emitters. So for example, when you get a 10, 10 switches will activate, causing 10 circles to be in the left side of the weighing scales. You are then asked the question again, unless you have gone bust. A Magnetic switch will be located so that when the scales are even (21), it 'unlocks' a door, through a system that once a key on the right circle corresponds to another in the middle, it activates a delay switch, which when done will activate an OR switch opening a door, allowing you to collect your prize bubbles containing some prizes (also released by the OR switch) to make your way to the finish nearby. A Magnetic switch will be located above the one activating the delay switch, so that when this switch activates, the floor will turn over, causing instant death and as the checkpoint will be raised, leading immediately to the finish.

-Stick will simply activate the OR switch that opens the door to leave the game.

There's the explanation of what I hope will be a very popular level. Ill set to work on it as soon as I've finished my level The Ferris Wheel when I get the game.

but im guessing the blackjack would lead to a Texas Hold em level because it would be the same concept in a way. just a bit more work for the the River,flop and stuff2008-11-04 21:38:00

Since I have a dealing system in place, I'm guessing its possible, but would add to the already complicated system. Ill leave it for now!

Only 13 switches? not going to include card suits?

My progress on this level is good, Ive now got a card delivery and selection system, all I need to do is sort out the scoring system and the aesthetics!
