Gin Rummy

I'm working on a Java Gin Rummy program. Here is a sample screen shot of the game.

How to Play

You can read the online guide to learn how to do the various game actions using your mouse. It explains how to select and drag cards, which are necessary to play the game.

Play Gin Rummy

Gin Rummy is a Java applet. You need a Java enabled browser in order to play it. You also need a browser that supports the applet archive tag. Netscape 3.x does, as does Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0.1.

You can play Gin Rummy right now. Since Yahoo will be shutting down Geocities later this year, I have setup another place to play Gin Rummy.

Credits

Mike Riccio kindly allowed me to use his cards. He based his cards on original card designs by Oxymoron. You should check out Mike's two Java applet card games that let you play against other people on the Internet: WebHearts™ and WebSpades™.

Five Card Trick

Here is my version of the five card trick. You need someone who knows how this trick is done to perform it for you.

If you wish to perform it, read the explanation.

For another interactive magic trick, try Peter Hewitt's a little miracle on his online magic webpage. See his homepage for other interesting topics.

You might wish to visit the Metamath Home Page maintained by Norman Megill.

Metamath is a tiny language that can express theorems in abstract mathematics, accompanied by proofs that can be verified by a computer program. The site has a collection of web pages generated from those proofs and lets you see mathematics developed formally from first principles with absolute rigor.

I'm working on a Python program mmide.py that provides a graphical user interface for the metamath system. It runs on current Macintosh computers. It uses the PyGUI library created by Gregory Ewing to provide the graphical user interface. This is my first version. It still needs more work.

Here are some screenshots that show the GUI output compared to the output generated by the command line program for the following metamath commands:

You can download the Python program mmide.

Nu

Nu is an interpreted object-oriented language. Its syntax comes from Lisp, but Nu is semantically closer to Ruby than Lisp. Nu is written in Objective-C and is designed to take full advantange of the Objective-C runtime and the many mature class libraries written in Objective-C. Nu code can fully interoperate with code written in Objective-C; messages can be sent to and from objects with no concern for whether those messages are implemented in Objective-C or Nu.

You might wish to visit the Nu Home Page maintained by Tim Burks for further information.

You can download my NuLayout Package NuLayoutPackage.zip file.
