Poker Patience
� Jonathan Rawle 1997
Introduction
------------
Poker patience is a card game for one player in which cards must be placed,
one at a time, to form a five by five square. Once a card has been placed,
it may not be moved. Each row and column is then treated as a poker hand
(ignoring the order of the cards) and scores according to this table:
Combination Score
English American
One pair 1 2
Two pairs 3 5
Triplet 6 10
Straight 12 15
Flush 5 20
Full house 10 25
Four of a kind 16 50
Straight flush 30 75
Royal flush 30 100
As you will have noticed, there are two scoring systems: English and
American.
The English system is the more accurate, as it takes into account the
difference in probabilities when compared to ordinary poker.
However, poker players may find the American system more natural, as hands
are ranked as in conventional poker.
The target score is 70 by the English system or 200 by the American.
Poker combinations
------------------
For anyone not familiar with poker, the possible scoring combinations are
explained below:
One pair - any two cards of the same rank, eg. 2 2, J J or A A
Two pairs - two pairs of cards of the same rank, eg. 2 2 3 3 or 7 7 K K
Triplet - three cards of the same rank, eg. 9 9 9, Q Q Q
Straight - five cards of consecutive rank, regardless of suit. Aces
can be high or low (but not both). eg. A 2 3 4 5, 3 4 5 6 7
10 J Q K A, but NOT K A 2 3 4
Flush - five cards of the same suit, regardless of rank
Full house - a triplet and a pair, eg. 5 5 8 8 8, 4 4 4 J J
Four of a kind - four cards of the same rank eg. A A A A, 3 3 3 3
Straight flush - five cards of consecutive rank, all in the same suit
Royal flush - a straight flush consisting of 10 J Q K A
The order of the cards does not matter, and any odd cards are irrelevant.
Playing the computer version
----------------------------
Click the iconbar icon to open the main Poker Patience window. The first
card to be played is shown in the top right hand corner. Click in the blank
part of the window to position the card. Cards can be placed in any of the
five rows and columns, and need not be next to any card already played. To
undo the last move made, click the adjust (right hand) mouse button.
When a row or column is completed, the combination and its score appear, and
the total is updated. At the end of the game, if your score is high enough,
you may be asked to enter your name for the high score table. (There is a
different table for each scoring system.)
The menu
--------
The main menu can be accessed by clicking the menu (middle) button over the
iconbar icon or the window. The options are as follows:
Info - Leads to the usual program information
New game - Leads to a submenu with two options: English scores and
American scores. Clicking on one of these starts a new game
with the chosen scoring system
(Clicking on New game itself starts a new game with the same
scores as the last one.)
Scores - Displays a table with the scores for the combinations under
the current system
High scores - Displays the high score table
Cloth colour - Leads to a choice of window background colours
Quit - Exits the program and removes its icon from the iconbar
Note to users of older monitors
-------------------------------
When the game is played in modes 12 or 15, the bottom of the window is
chopped off. This does not affect the functioning of the game.
Alternatively, switching to mode 35 allows the whole window to fit on the
screen.
