What is Briscola ?
Briscola 1.2 is a card game for Macintosh and PowerMacintosh. This game
is well known in Italy as briscola, but is known as atout for French
people and as trump for English ones. The briscola is the suit of the
card which lies below the pack. Sometimes somebody considers briscola
that card. Any card whose suit is briscola, should be kept jealously to
get as more as opponent's points.The aim is to get more than 60 points,
half of 120 available points. You have to face your opponent 20 times.
Briscola 1.2 requirements
- System 7.0.
- RAM: 1500 KB available for Briscola.
- Color QuickDraw.
- any processor, 680x0 or PowerPC.
What's new in 1.2 ?
- bug removed while opening the preferences file.
- PICT resources reduced to 16 bit.
- some code added to support Roman languages.
- added Italian menus, dialogs, texts.
- better poker pictures for aces, jacks, queens and kings. I changed
these symbols to PICTs, because in Briscola 1.0 and 1.1 I used bitmap
system fonts and they were badly rendered if you have Espi Sans as
system font, as Aaron or Kaleidoscope set at startup.
- even with Trevisan cards the winning ones are inverted now.
- background and font even changed at the end of the game.
- the pack on the table is "deep", so that you can guess how many cards
remain in it.
- sounds are now asynchronous.
- some minor bugs removed.
