A couple of suggestions:
1. when starting the next round clear the bottom section with previous game still being displayed.
That will make it easier to see a new round has been started, withe the new cards dealt after the bet is decided.
2. when I bet more than 500 limit, I got an error message that didn't quite get cleared. A full wash of screen
would also make clear we are waiting for a proper wager to be entered at the next input prompt.
Oh $Color metacommand! Thats when the color names were assigned color values.
Sorry I haven't been paying attention, been busy.
1. The bottom section is supposed to clear when you start the new game. Before that it is waiting for you to change your bet. If you just hit enter it goes on to the next game with the same bet. I am not sure how clearing it earlier than that would work (What part of the bottom do you think should be erased before placing the next bet?). The idea was that most people would place the same bet over and over and this would make it easy.
2. I had not checked this out, I will.
3. It took me a long while to figure out the $color command and find colors that work on my screen. I am surprised that the yellow doesn't work well for you. It looks nice on my monitor....The black is more contrasty...
