If you do not want to use a precompiled release of Canabis or you want to have the latest version or whatever, you can of course build your own one. There will be one soon when Canabis becomes "playable" - there are still some things missing from the basic "artificial intelligence" level.įor now, there are no card or language packages besides the packages included in the source archive or releases. Sorry, there are no official binary releases yet. Here are some development screenshots, where I played a bit with pseudotransparency, shot under eComStation and Windoze Vista (but I don't have it on my computer).

There is going to be a native OS/2 and Windows help (thanks to VyperHelp) as well as on-the-fly in-game help in the status bar.Ĭanabis is licensed under the Open Software License v.2.1. Of course there will always be some issues with the user interface related to flaws in the Tcl/Tk OS/2 port which Canabis relies on. It will even support some OS/2-specific features like basic Workplace Shell integration. Actually, the focus of development is on OS/2. Therefore it is cross-platform and can be compiled for OS/2 Warp (which includes eComStation) and Windows 32-bit systems. The whole user interface will conform the Common User Access? guidelines.Ĭanabis is developed entirely in Open Watcom FORTRAN/77 using the FORTRAN/TK toolkit. Also, you can customize colors, the window background and even enable primitive pseudotransparency. You can easily install different card and language packages provided as compiled. Currently it is single player against one computer opponent and it is unsure whether there will be some kind of multiplayer someday.
It is planned to support the Classic Canasta rules and a lot of customizable rules (so it supports my family's rules?). As far as I know, it is the first Open Source Canasta game ever, too. The aim is to create a full-featured and easy-to-use but still very slim and functional Canasta game. Welcome to the temporary home of Canabis - the Open Source Canasta card-game for OS/2 Warp (including eComStation) and Windows 9x/NT.
