Q: How do I ask a question?
A: Send mail to hspc@cs.utah.edu

Q (2/25/98): PLAYER_NAME is in the C/C++ version but has no equivalent in the Pascal version. What's up with this?
A: PLAYER_NAME doesn't really have any use. Originally I was thinking of using it to extract the contestant name from the compiled files. This isn't necessary and it turned out to be too much bother to do something similar in the pascal version. Don't worry about PLAYER_NAME.

Q: (2/21/98) How is the game won?
A: The first player to reach 300 points wins the game. If two players reach 300 points during the same round then the player with the higher number of points wins.

Q: (2/21/98) When can the dealt cards be looked at (before or after takes)?
A: The dealt cards can be looked at immediately and will be available to the program to look at in the GAME.hand array. This array is set up just before NewRound is called.
