Card Game Starter Kit
This sample is a fully-functional Blackjack card game for Windows, Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7, built on top of an easily-extensible card game and animation framework you can use to build your own card games.
How the Sample Works
The full game of Blackjack that can be built and played from this sample is built from a number of different underlying components, each of which can be separated out and extended to create new functionality:
Classes from the GameStateManagement sample to handle the loading, updating, and transitioning of screens The
AnimatedGameComponent class, inherited from
DrawableGameComponent , to handle animating the position, scale, and text drawing of in-game objects The Cards Framework, represented primarily by the
CardGame ,
CardPacket ,
Player ,
GameTable and
GameRule classes, that provide generic card game functionality
