War! The Classic Card Game

So, I have created a game called War, as in the card game, in Lua. It's mainly a text war, but its obsessive to play.
Here's how to play War if you don't know it yet. You place down a card (and the other person) and whoever has the highest card wins both cards. If they are the same, you are in a War. You place down 3 cards (double wars 6) and whoever wins now gets an extra 3 cards, plus the 1 that lost. If you get another war, you have a double war (you place another 3 cards down, and win 8 [or 7 I can't remember] who wins. At least in this version it is.)

Now to the good stuff! If I can I'll post all my screenshots I have (don't expect much; I don't really get how) I'll post em'.
If you want sound, on the right side on the computer put a note block with the sound you want it to play every session. Place a note block on the back of the computer and that will play every war.

Here's the download: pastebin get WEW0NKpY war
pastebin.com/WEW0NKpY
BUGS FIXED:
-Wars are ignored
-Generic sound is same as War sound
-Wars would add the start cards plus one, making when you get a war the person who wins that war wins the entire game
If it expires, tell me and I'll fix it ;)/>

Did you make this on Grim's server? :P/>
Anyway, nice game. I remember playing this game growing up all the time. It never lost its charm.

I made about 1/4th of this game on Grim's server.
Most of it was on single-player, imported on the server.
And thanks! :D/>

50 Views…I guess this must've been a popular game (kinda) then..

Hmm.. This seems very interesting.
Maybe you should try to add some ascii art to it? Anyway, Good job! :D/>

I don't know how to add ASCII or what to determine to make it.
Thanks however!

Did you use math.random to generate the cards?
Also, you should factor putting two cards down when you go to war. ;)/>

Of course I used math.random, what else?
By the way, Don't tell me that it's not random technically, because I know.
Also, I apologize, but I don't understand what you mean by 'you should factor putting two cards down when you go to war'.

They way /my/ family played was, when we had two of the same card, we put two face down to make it more interesting when it came to winning wars.

That's a good idea. Now that I think about it, I'll add an option to effect that.
Keep in mind this is nowhere near the full thing, and even then, complete, so there's plenty good in that :)/>

Updated to add that and local variables :D/>

Why aren't the functions localized?
EDIT: Why not make the noteblock sides configurable. ;o

The new update localized it.
And I guess I could do that..But it's getting pretty late. Will do that tomorrow :D/>

This is pretty cool, and It's a really fun card game, but you don't really play the game, just watch the simulation go. It would be a little cooler if you could reduce the time between plays and make the user click a image of a deck or something? Some way to add user interaction would make it much more fun.

I thought you meant the variables, sorry about that :P/>
I'll try (try? you mean do?) to fix that aswell as those configurable sides to the noteblocks.

If you mean click the image, I clearly can't make an image, but I can make the user have to click on something to continue :)/>
I'll add that before I update it aswell.
EDIT: Updated with all the promised features! :)/>
