Marriage Card Game Update



The card game i was working on is complete. Because of issues related to java certification in browsers i have not uploaded it in the web so the game is available as a stand alone only at this point. Please let me know if you know the game and/or are interested in playing. The server is running on the cloud. Since the certificate is not cheap i don't know if i should buy the certificate or make it available as a stand alone. Anyways, I have really enjoyed working on this game over a period of about 3 months. There were many challenges but my passion for the game overcame all challenges one by one. At one point I had a terrible bug which crashed the whole system. If i hadn't created backup copies, which were duplicates all over the desktop, then i would have to suffer. I now understand the importance of a version control system so i will definitely be using a version control software for my future projects. The advantages i see of using a version control over just plain project in desktop is version control avoids duplicate copies of your project and secondly it is easy to revert back to earlier commits without the risk of crashing the whole project because of an obscure bug that you don't seem to find. Anyways, this was a happy end to a chapter, a game that i really enjoy playing. A new chapter has started.  I created an animated gif to show the operation of the game. For the complete rules of the game, please follow the link below.
