////// CardMaker 1.0 ©1988 by Terry W. Gintz //////

CardMaker is a programmer's aid for creating card image data that can be
used in any card game that uses the standard 52 card deck.  The basic
elements that make up the card images (hearts, clubs, jacks, queens, etc)
were hand drawn to resemble a standard deck of cards.
The Amiga assembles these building blocks to form an accurately placed card
image.  The current version supports only the internal images that the
author drew, but a future version may allow you to 'roll your own' to make
any conceivable card you want (two elephants, three giraffes, for example).

About the Menus:

There are only two: the Main has the operational commands, Make Suit,
Generate Code and Quit.  Make Suit will create a suit onscreen according to
the Suit Menu: hearts, clubs, spades, or diamonds.  Generate Code calls up a
file requester and writes the USHORT data for all cards in that suit to the
file requested.  This takes about 110K bytes for one suit, so be careful to
have plenty of space on your disks before executing this command.  Cursor
changes to a digital wait image (:01) while the disk transfer is going on.
Will probably crash if there is insufficient disk space.  (AmigaDos will Guru
even with error-checking code.)

Also, if you use the card images generated by Cardmaker in any of your
programs, especially in commercial programs, I'd like a small donation or
royalty for the work I did in drawing them (hard work, you know). This will
go towards creating new tools and/or updates.  I'd take suggestions a lot
more seriously, too.
