[comp.sys.mac.games] Bridge Game

6600zot@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu (Jason S. White) (04/23/91)

I need to know if there is a public domain bridge game.  I'm sure there is one,
but I checked at sumex and rascal and I couldn't find it.  Could someone tell
me where I can ftp it or can someone mail it to me?

Thanks,

Jason S. White

The very first damn thing I wanted to do, when I first set my hands on
a real computer ca. 1967, was to write a bridge program.  Same thing
when I got my first Mac.  Same thing when various nifty programming
languages turned up.  Never gets done.

Doesn't it seem to you that with the resources available on the
net, it would be possible to implement something like the poster
is seeking that really does a good job?

I am not, by the way, volunteering to undertake such a task.
Might HELP, though.

I have been playing Bridge 6.0 by Artworx for some time now.  I am most 
frustrated with the quality of play by the available bridge games for the 
MAC.  

Is there anyone out there that is interested in writing a bridge game that
is worth a darn.  I would like to write it in THINK C.  Maybe a team 
approach would result in a challenging game.  

If anyone is interested please respond.  If not, I will write it myself
and not share it with any of you.

I am also interested in producing commercial software.  I have a business
but don't yet have the contacts.  Any ideas??
