NET Cards
-
Version
3.0
NET Cards is a multiplayer game which allows people
to play any game of cards over the Internet. The
application itself is not aware of any card game
rules. The players must know the rules of the game
that they want to play - just like in real life.
The players connect to a shared whiteboard where they
can see the mouse cursors of all the other connected
players. This whiteboard is highly interactive -
players can do pretty much everything that can be
done with a real deck of cards - move cards around,
flip them, shuffle them, deal etc.
In addition to cards there are several other highly
interactive items such as chips, bills, score sheets
and trump selectors that are designed to facilitate
game play. These items can be added and removed at
any time by any player.
NET Cards can be used to play virtually any card game
that uses one or more standard decks (52 + 3 cards).
Partial decks can also be inserted into the game.
To facilitate communication between players NET Cards
provides a two way voice channel and a chat. Players
with dynamic IP addresses can use the application's e-
mail to IP resolution ability to easily connect to
one another.
