♥♦♣♠ Hearts ♥♦♣♠ ~Hearts is a traditional card game, originating in Spain in the 1700's. Here is a recreation of that card game, complete with player AI and addictive gameplay. Can you win a game with no score? Or shoot the moon? Time to find out! ~Instructions can be accessed from the menu. ~Space to toggle score ♥♦♣♠ Tips ♥♦♣♠ ~It helps to get rid of your high cards first ~Do not lead with a high heart (unless there are no other options) ~Do not lead with the King or Ace of spades, lest someone give you the queen of spades (worth thirteen points) ~Also I just realized a did a reshare, which wasn't intentional, I took it down for a while to try and rework the AI and eventually gave up.
♥♦♣♠ Credit ♥♦♣♠ ~Thanks to @BoltBait for sound effects. ~Thanks to Microsoft Hearts for the idea ~All code and art done by me, except for the backdrops and card back designs. (How's the intro? It's really simple, so any suggestions?) ♥♦♣♠ How this came to be ♥♦♣♠ ~To be honest, I was playing around with alt key codes once and stumbled across codes for playing card suits. Hearts has always been one of my favorite card games, so I thought, "hey, why not try to make an online hearts?". This is the result. Took about 2 weeks to make, I am satisfied with the result. ♥♦♣♠ Fun Facts ♥♦♣♠ ~This was made in about two weeks ~It is made up of nine sprites and 7500 blocks of code ~The AI for each enemy is the same. However, differences in hand can make it seem like each has its own strategy. It's made only using massive if-else strings, which are a bit clunky and not too customizable in this case but eh, they work. ♥♦♣♠ Update Log ♥♦♣♠ ~June 23, 2020, v1.0.0, initial release. ~June 28, 2020, v1.1.0, added firework animations. ~June 30, 2020, v1.2.0, your hand now automatically sorts itself. ~July 2, 2020, v1.2.1, polished up effects and smoothed timings. ~July 6, 2020, v1.3.1, added opponent cards and themes section, credit is now solely in Notes and Credits. ~June 2, 2022, v1.3.2, fixed hearts broken effect. ~June 2, 2022, v1.3.3, fixed a bug where you could break hearts on a lead. .0.0
