Who:	Stephen Rahn

What:	Hearts, version 0.5 alpha

Where:	the Internet (www.geocities.com/shhizm)

When:	May 27, 2008

Why:	"Just for giggles"

How:	C++; Windows executable and source code are included

Updates:I fixed the screwed-up sort function, so now I just have to code a few functions for scoring and the mechanics of passing cards around.

Notes:	This thing is nowhere near complete yet, so kindly go in with limited
expectations. At this point, it doesn't actually play the game yet.


 - The settings file -

Recently new is the settings file, which is vital to the execution of
the main program, so you probably want to keep this readme somewhere handy if
you happen to delete it.

Make sure that you always have a file called "settings.in" in the same directory
as the executable. For those of you who are inclined to crack it open in notepad
and have a gander, it is indeed in plain ASCII so you can't do any harm. The
numbers inside correspond to:

Use system time for rand seed flag
	* 1 = true, 0 = false
Number of times to shuffle deck (each shuffle is 52 2-card swaps)
	* 2-100, or 0 (i.e., "don't shuffle")
display deck (useful for debugging)
	* 1 = true, 0 = false

The default file is:

1
20
