Melds of Majesty

An idle game built around making high scoring rummy melds. Select cards from the bottom of the screen to create n-of-a-kind hands (e.g. two kings) or straight flushes (e.g. 9,10,J of clubs). Spend your hard-earned chips on upgrades in the right panel to improve your scoring skills.

Where to play

Play on the github sites.

Credits

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App and uses React and Mainloop.js.

Point Brainstorming

Idk where to put this so I'm just tossing it in the readme

I want the first few upgrades to be like 100/200 points each

Hand probabilities:

              5 cards  |  7 cards | 10 cards
1-of-a-kind    50.69%  |   21.06% |   2.02%
2-of-a-kind    47.02%  |   71.14% |   73.74%
3-of-a-kind    2.27%   |   7.63%  |   23.26%
4-of-a-kind    0.03%   |   0.17%  |   0.98%
1-in-a-row     67.69%  |   42.39% |   14.03%
2-in-a-row     30.39%  |   51.22% |   65.96%
3-in-a-row     1.83%   |   5.90%  |   17.26%
4-in-a-row     0.08%   |   0.46%  |   2.46%
5-in-a-row     0.00%   |   0.03%  |   0.25%
6-in-a-row     0.00%   |   0.00%  |   0.03%
7-in-a-row     0.00%   |   0.00%  |   0.00%
8-in-a-row     0.00%   |   0.00%  |   0.00%
9-in-a-row     0.00%   |   0.00%  |   0.00%
10-in-a-row    0.00%   |   0.00%  |   0.00%

Points:

• For a single card, you get the written value + 10 (face cards are 20 points)
• For a pair, you get 5 * point value
• For a 3oaK, you get 50 * point value
• For a 4oaK, you get 500 * point value
• n in a row is n^2*point sum

I think I want an upgrade somewhere that makes straights not need to match suit. This balances out the two kinds of hands pretty well.
