My iPod Touch game released

I started using the SDK towards the end of April and was getting use to Objective-C and the SDK and found it quite nice. An app that I have used to get to know different technologies was BlackJack, due to it's simplicity. So, I started building a blackjack game for the iPod/iPhone and towards the end of June I started to really work on getting the app ready for distribution. It is ready now and I will make improvements as needed.

  • Uses up to 4 decks of cards shuffled together (reshuffles when there is about 22 cards left)
  • Dealer hits until 17 or higher
  • Preferences to turn on dealer wins on push
  • Preference to disable gestures (a work in progress and the first version of it is in version 1.11)
  • Of course, awesome looking cards and graphics.
  • The player can split when dealt identical face cards.
  • Version 1.11 fixed a bug/error that when you split your split hand wouldn't only win if the dealer busted.
