I got bored today

[newbi3]

I got bored today (technically yesterday but I didn't go to sleep yet so it is still today) and decided to write a command line uno game. It is all fully functional you play against the computer and all cards work. Wilds, draw 4s, draw 2s, skips, reverses, everything. I didn't follow an official uno rule book while creating this though so you might think some things are against the rules but it all works!

LOL... thank you... You should get some cool reading material (Krav Maga, IT books, etc) PM me if ya want some knowledge (from my public dropbox)

[Haxadecimal]

For someone who is working on improving their coding skillz this is great to see. :-D

[newbi3]

Thanks! I made some updates to it and optimized it for the Linux shell I should probably update it on here!

I have to admit I have your game and I have been playing it quite often. Its pretty damn enjoyable. (I was a huge fan of playing text RPG back in the day) I remember writing my first questlike game on an Apple II :D I'm still looking for one to play around with lol.

I am glad to hear someone is using it!
