This is just a bit of fun. NOTE that this requires a minimum i3 to run. It's better on i5 and i7.

Stupid one-arm bandit stole all my credits! All 5 times I played! :lol: Fun game, thanks!

On line 67 in FMain I added a Wait 0.5 so the "handle" sound meshed better with the reels starting to spin.

It ran about the same speed on all three of my systems.

"Good game, good game!" (...google "Bruce Forsyth" if you are not a Brit)

My only suggestion would be to add a jack-pot win for one combination of, say, 100 credits.

I guess you could also get players to enter their names and have a high-score leaders board.



Charlie, I notice you have recently "gone native" and almost completely stopped adding comments to your code!!!

That's nice to know as I tried it on a Celeron and it was BAD! :( It was very difficult to stop the reels picking up speed after 1 or 2 had stopped which is why there is a huge loop that does nothing much but it slows slower processors down a lot.

Have a look at the sPict array in the Reel class. Say you wanted 3 x BAR to win. The 'Bar' is 3 so add a line in FMain between lines 110 and 111. If sWinningLine = "333" then byCredits = 100 I have not tested this.

This is a good idea but I am not motivated to do this.

I know and I should as when I was looking for a way to make the "100" credits win I noticed that the Reel class still shows the original 5 reels that was experimented with in the beginning. This redundant code would have been picked up had I added a comment to each line but it seems I have "gone native".
