Simple Rummy-based game
#1
This is a simple game based on the Rummy card game.
It may appeal to those who just want to relax and play an uncomplicated game. 
I may have gone a bit overboard with comments, which were mostly for my own benefit while writing.  Big Grin

Code: (Select All)

tiles(101, 1) = -19: tiles(101, 2) = 4 '                                                 adding 64 to -19 gives 45;  chr$(45) is white - sign for vacant hand-positions

+1 For yourself 3 months many X years down the line... hopefully Smile

A quick glance at Intro Code says 100 tiles 96 of which... and goes by name Rummage, so this is not Gin Rummy?

So the playing pieces are colored tiles with a single letter... abit like cards with numbers and suits.
b = b + ...

Yes, it's based on Rummy, with a few changes.

There are more "cards"; 
There are  "WildCards" 
Any card can be discarded, including the pickup;
The game ends when all tiles have been used, not when a player empties their hand;
and the "legal sets" have different priorities and values.
I chose to use coloured letters for simplicity in coding, but essentially it's the same thing as card denominations.
