Cool idea, works well with the theme. Good work!

Good idea that translates surprisingly well to an enjoyable game :smile: It's actually quite compelling! I like the added touch that the drivers are little Jokers, and some nice flair with the menu animations.

nicely adopted the theme.

nice concept for this theme

Quite a cool idea. I could see this being a real fun full game if it was expanded on. Well done. :D

Cool Idea. Worked out well! :) Was more of a visualization of racing than actually racing, but I can see how the theme worked out. Good game.

Cool game for two actually incompatible genres. I wouldn't have thought this was possible. Well done!

Man, thank you for putting a link to Java! (I have troubles with running java games before you.)

If you did it on a JOGL, you did a very big job with this game, so you are a skilled programmer. If you have not any reasons to don't use JS+Unity, I recommend to use it at the next time to fight more with a game design than with code to make much more stuff for your games.

The concept of the game **is very incompatible**, but parts of the game can be linked stronger a bit. I mean, you can give a player extra speed if he wins with a really fast making decision to follow the racing part.

I had a lot of fun with this. If you get behind the computer you want to deal fast and make quick decisions. Once I was ahead of the computer I would wait until the timer was at 1 before hitting or standing to get that much further ahead of the opponent. It was a very enjoyable positive feedback loop.

Thank you all for the feedback. Thanks @Linver but I am not using JOGL, I am using a game engine called jMonkeyEngine. http://jmonkeyengine.org/ It has a LWJGL render pipeline and JOGL pipeline. So I did not have to worry about all those other issues. I am a big fan of jMonkeyEngine and java, even JavaScript. I am more a developer than an artist and that is mostly why I thing I still code java games.

This is really clever! Love blackjack and combining it with racing was very unique, great use of the theme! It's one of those addictive time killers, really good job!
