Joker

a networked card game

Introduction

Joker is a networked (human vs. human) card game written in java. It is intended to be playable both from a telnet client and from it's own graphical clients.

This is the first alpha release and there is still a lot to be done. Currently two games are implemented; `knockout whist' and `Montana red dog' (rules are in <gamedir>/RULES).

Both the servers and graphical clients require a standalone java interpreter (1.1 or higher) ie they will NOT run in a web browser. However if you don't have java it is possible to play on a remote server using a telnet client.

Joker is free software and you are welcome to redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. Joker comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
