Question

I am looking for java example solution/library/class for online card game. I'm interested in creating a non-profit version of a game called "Thousand", with functionality to play human vs human and human vs AI.

I'll appreciate any kind of advise.

Answer 1

There's JPC-API which provides general playing card services and rendering. Beyond that you need to be more specific about what you need. The problem you describe is a little larget in scope. Are you looking for help in

• Lobby services (finding other players)
• Gaming network protocol (to communicate moves between players)
• Gaming theory (to write the computer opponent)
• Winning condition detection
• Game UI development

or some other aspect?
