Santase - Sixty-six card game
About
Santase is a simple implementation of the popular game Sixty-six/Schnapsen. This game was very popular
in all Europe and I liked playing it a lot when I was a child. Now, in the digital era, I'm trying to take this great
experience to your computers and mobile devices.
Santase comes in two versions:
1. Desktop version - for Windows, Linux/Unix, and Mac (written in C++/Qt)
2. Mobile version - for Android compatible devices. (written in Java/Android)
This game is free and open-source.
Download
You can download Santase binaries for Windows(the -win32.zip file), binaries for Android(the .apk file). Sources are also available(look at the installation info below)
All files are available here:
Santase - version 1.0
How to install
Installation of Santase is very simple:
1. On Windows - just download the precompiled binary(-win32.zip file), extract it where you want
and run: qsantase.exe for graphical version or csantase.exe for console version.
2. On Linux/Unix/Mac - there is no binary for these operating system, so you'll have to build the game
from source-code. Look at the developers section below.
3. On Android - download the .apk file from the download section using your favourite mobile browser.
Since the game is not hosted on Google Play, you'll have to set some options in your mobile device.

For developers
1. For desktop version:
If you want to build the desktop version, you'll have to install a decent C++ compiler/environment.
On Linux - use GCC. For Windows I recommend
MinGW. You can build the console version by just type make(Linux)
or mingw-make(Windows). Graphical version also requires Qt Framework
to be installed. The game is build using Qt4(I haven't tried to build it with Qt5, but maybe it's possible). On Linux
you also have to install Qt development packages. On Windows you have to install the Qt SDK. Some Linux distributions also include mingw compiler and packages, so it's also possible
to build a Windows binary using Linux only.(The windows release was built this way). After you have installed and configured Qt.
The build process is very simple. Just download the -src.tar.gz file from the download section, extract it where you want,
go to the gui directory and type: qmake(or qmake-qt4, qmake-qt5, mingw-qmake or whatever it
is the name in your Qt SDK), and then type: make(or mingw-make). If everything is ok, in the end you'll have
qsantase binary in your source folder.
2. For mobile version: If you want to build the Android version. You'll have to install Java Development Kit(JDK) and Android SDK (with a plugin for Eclipse IDE).More info on how to install Android SDK can be found here: Android SDK Then just download the -src.zip file from the download section. Since it's an Eclipse project, you can import it in your workspace(from menu: File->Import->General->Archive) and build it using the Eclipse IDE.
