About the game

Truco! o algo... is a Java implementation of a card game called truco, which is very popular in South America.
Unlike most card games, truco is played with Spanish style cards.The rules of the game can vary a little from one country to another, so make sure you read the Game Rules, a wikipedia entry containing the rules this game will use someday (I haven't finished programming the game yet). The game is distributed for free and with the source code. It all comes in one single executable .jar package. To get the sources, just open it with your favourite archiver (win zip, win rar, win something else...). Feel free to modify and redistribute the game as you like, but please mention the original when you do so.

Instructions (how to create a server and stuff)

Information regarding game usage is part of the in-game help. Just open it and click on Help on the menu bar. You should get all the information you need right there.
Creating and joining servers is relatively easy, you shouldn't have much trouble understanding the connection mechanism, even without the help.

System Requirements

You don't need much to play the game, just a computer with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed and an internet connection. It doesn't matter which operating system you use.
If you don't have JRE installed on your computer, visit Sun's official Java site and get the latest version. It's easy to install and really useful (there are millions of programs written in Java, so chances are you will need it for something else).

Troubleshooting/Getting Help

If for some strange reason you can't play the game, please join the forums and tell me about your problem, I'll try to solve it as soon as possible. Keep in mind that by telling me about game issues you are helping me improve it, so, you're not only free, but encouraged to post in the forums. Just remember to be specific about the problem, make it easy for me to track down and correct the bugs :P.

About the creator of the Game

This game was created by Ale Ricatti, the same mindbogglingly obnoxious person responsible for the game design, programming, graphics, manteinance, website creation, and also some Chuck Norris jokes that linger the internet.
