The below (which is a list I hope to expand on) are some games I've created in Javascript just for fun.

Blackjack

Rules:

This is casino-style blackjack (also known as '21'). The object of the game is to get as high a score as you can without going over 21. Face cards score 10, regular cards score the number shown, and Aces can be 1 or 11. If you beat the dealer (who only shows one card at first), you win. The dealer plays after you, but must stand on hard 17 and hit on soft 17 ('soft' meaning a 17 made with an Ace). A 'Blackjack' means a face card (i.e. a Queen) and an Ace. Blackjack always beats a regular 21. If you bust (go over 21), you lose even if the dealer busts, too. You can split your hand if you have two of the same card. When you split, your bet doubles, but you then play two hands - one with each 'split' card - and these are scored separately. You can double down if you have two cards (of any value) in your hand. When you double down, you double your bet for exactly one more card. This is to your advantage if you have a 10 or 11 total, since chances are, you will be dealt a card with the value 10.

Features:

Anytime you want, you can change the amount you bet and the amount of chips you have. You can watch images of chips change as you win and lose (just like in a real casino) and even a waitress will come by to offer you a drink. But you better tip her or she might not come back. I include a Hint function which shows the standard guidelines of how to play to maximum effect. Be aware, that even using these hints, you're average chance is roughly 48% to win. Of course the house has the advantage, but that's the way it is in real life.

Limitations:

You can only split once and when you are dealt a blackjack, you win double instead of one and a half. The reason for these are simply because it was massively easier on my part to program, but you can't complain about winning double, can you? You can only start with a maximum of $10,490 in chips. Why? Because that's the maximum amount of chips I can display using my cute 'chip' images. Don't worry, you can win as much as you want, but I can only show chips up to $10490.

Kanji Game

For those of you studying Japanese, this is a challenge designed to hone your kanji recognition skills. You can go from kanji to english or vice versa - also from kana to either - in a variety of levels. More information on Japanese recognition for your browser is on this page.
