Q:
What are the minimum requirements to play
Cribbage.ca?
A: As usual DirectX,
a pentium class cpu, Windows(any), 10meg of free space. Basically any system
that runs win9x, ME, NT or XP in 800x600. You cannot use large fonts in your display setting
properties. This will cause the cribbage computer game software display to be completely wrong.
You can set a normal font size in : Display Properties / Settings /
Advanced / DPI settings and set it to normal size (96DPI)
Q:
Do we have to play
crib against the computer only?
A:
No. You can play 6 cards cribbage using
Cribbage.ca against a friend over tcp/ip and chat while you're playing
cribbage.
Q:
Where can I get the
instructions manual to play
Cribbage.ca?
A: You can find the cribbage game software
online manual . You can point the controls while playing
to obtain a short description of them.
Q:
The cribbage game takes forever to deal, what's wrong?
A:
TNT vga cards seem to
have a problem (with Windows ME) with programs that have a lots of objects like
cribbage.ca. I eliminated a
lot of objects in the game software and changed my card decks (no they're not the windows
cards) and a lot of other modifications. The problem is now fixed and will
always get better in the next release of
Cribbage.ca.
You
can also disable animations in the
computer card game configuration menu.
Q:
When I try to play,Cribbage.ca
tells me that I can't use
Computer ?
A:
When you
install my cribbage software game, it creates a profile named Computer, used to
keeps it's cribbage game statistics, just like yours will be kept. This profile is
owned by my card game and cannot be used to play. You just have to
create a user name with the textbox beside the create button in the
menu and then use it to play cribbage .
Q:
Why can't I quit the cribbage game in the middle of a
hand ?
A:
When you
quit playing
Cribbage.ca,
it saves all the data needed to continue the cribbage game where you left and this for all
levels. For example if you leave rookie with points 28 / 35, the
cribbage game
will continue there when you reload it, just like if you never stopped.
Saving all variables and states needed in a hand loop is not really
worth it since just a few more seconds are needed to finish playing the cribbage hand.
Q:
Why when I try to install the software
it stops at 41% ?
A:
You must be running Win98. Sometimes the file dx7vb.dll
will not update causing the installation to abort. You may update
dx7vb.dll manually using winzip to extract it from the file
crib.cab and then save it in c:\windows\system32
(If the file is in use, you
will have to do it under dos mode).
The game will then install properly allowing you to play cribbage
games.
