.TH BJ 6 86/06/21 .SH NAME bj \- network blackjack game .SH SYNOPSIS .B bj .br dealer .SH DESCRIPTION The program \fIbj\fP is the client portion of a network blackjack game, the program \fIdealer\fP is the server portion. The game allows up to six players to play blackjack against the dealer, and the game may span machines. The networking code uses stream sockets in the internet family. The dealer runs as a daemon in the background and may be started with the command /usr/games/dealer&. Once the dealer is running, players may attach with the command /usr/games/bj. .PP The game will display the players currently in the game, and will allow you to select which seat you wish to sit at. Once seated, you bet by typing in the amount you want to bet, and the cards are dealt. The top line of the display is a status line, informing each player of other player's activities and prompts from the dealer. While a player's hand is being processed, the following commands are allowed: .TP space stand .TP h Take another card. .TP q Quit after this hand. .TP s Split a pair. .TP d Double down. .PP If the dealer has an ace showing, each player is asked if they want insurance. Insurance pays 2 to 1 if the dealer has blackjack, and thus insurance costs half what the player's bet is. Blackjack pays 3 to 2. Once you have initially bet, you can repeat your last bet by simply hitting return, rather than typing it in again. Beware - this amount is actually the last amount that you won or lost, watch out if you just doubled down and lost, your bet is twice what you think it is. The display shows the player and the machine they are logged in to, along with their bet and how much they are up or down. You can set an environment variable called BJ if you want to change your name, but there isn't really enough room to display a name like "Amarillo Slim". .SH FILES .TP /usr/games/bj .TP /usr/games/dealer .TP /etc/services .SH BUGS Probably lots. Undocumented features, too. (Or is that redundant) Look through the sources. Go away.
