Project Introduction and Concept

For our project, we will be porting a card game that was originally built in Java to Forth. The card game is called Crazy Eights and was build by Ed for an assignment in his undergraduate computer science class at Radford University.

The game was originally built as two versions, 1) GUI, and 2) command line. Both versions actually use the same back-end game logic code but each provide a different presentation layer on top.

Initially, we will be porting the actual game logic code to Forth.

We plan to use arrays, similar to our SBL assignment a few weeks ago, to represent collections of cards (deck, hands, discard, etc.).

As we press forward we will continue to post our progress and stumbling points to this weblog.
