Back when I felt I had more free time (and more ambition to learn Palm programming), I had the bright idea to fix the gameplay bugs in MicroFluxx, and possibly add in the excluded cards, but that's gone completely cold... maybe if/when I get to retire, I'll pick it up again, if someone else hasn't already done a better job than I think I could do. I know some others have already built some online Fluxx interfaces that I've yet to play, and they might already be beyond what I'm after. I found MicroFluxx to be fun, though exploiting the messed-up rules and bad gameplay by even the "advanced" computer opponent got a little tedious... so I only play it occasionally now. Just checked my PDA, and the score is 91 to 46 -- and given how much luck is involved in getting the cards you need at the right time, I would have thought it would be closer than that if the computer player was any good... *however* (in case the original programmer is on this list), I recognize that it's hard to browse through card chain possibilities internally and still keep the game footprint small for Palm, so the programmer may have just succumbed to the limitations of the environment at hand, and either done a better job elsewhere or ran out of steam. Still, the basic mechanics of the game are close enough that it's not a bad introduction to the Real game(s). -Anhkst > Larry V. wrote: > > It's funny. I learned Fluxx a bit peculiarly.
