KARA 5 Kanvas / Poker

[amuseum]

KARA 5 Kanvas is more of a shrine to the super girl group from South Korea,  KARA . KARA 5 Kanvas includes 4 different games that use the same canvas. You can switch between the different games with the buttons above the canvas.

 

When you first visit the page, you are presented with a slideshow of the beautiful ladies of KARA. The background and the smaller foreground images change periodically (about every 5 seconds.)

 

The real highlight of KARA 5 Kanvas is the 5-card draw poker using a 5-suited deck. Each suit represents a member of KARA, and each suit/member gets their own color. Some differences between poker with a standard deck and KARA 5 Poker are:

1. You can get a 5-of-a-kind (in the game this hand is called KARA 5).
2. Flush (aka Honey) is much harder to get than full house (aka Umbrella).
3. You get a bonus with hands that have one of each suit/color. Sometimes called Rainbow, in the game it's called "KARA sth". For ex, KARA Ship.

You can refer to the payout table for every hand at the bottom of the Kanvas page.

 

Full details of the development of KARA 5 Poker and the 5-suited deck can be found at http://shenafu.com/smf/index.php?topic=96.0.

 

KARA 5 Poker is also available for the Android. Great for gaming on the go. Each hand takes half a second to complete. In an elevator ride you can play dozens of hands. And it keeps your score.

 

Below is an image inspired by the KARA 5 Poker. It changes every hour, so that you can see random hands. Perhaps use it like a horoscope? I sometimes use it as my sig on other forums.

 

 

Next is the concentration/memory game of matching the pictures of the beautiful ladies of KARA. There's a timer to see how fast you completed the game. There are total about 126 different images, but each game only uses 25 of them. So every game uses a different random set of images and you'll have to play a lot to see all the images.

 

Last is a prototype of a CCG called Idol Battle. Each card represents an idol or celebrity and has 3 stats. You fight other idol cards via a random contest based on mind, body, & soul and either higher or lower to win. Best out of 3 (there may be ties).

 

This kanvas page was actually created a few years back. I almost forgot about it. I want to reintroduce it as I'm planning on making a Warsong clone, probably with Phaser.

 

Attached are some screenshots.

It's interesting, but it's remind me of the old strip poker games.  I didn't quite understand the Idol fight though.
