Below Deck BlackJack

This was made for LowRezJam. The main theme was make a game in 64x64 resolution. Additional themes included the game be a side quest, etc. There are many optional themes, some of which this game implements.

Below Deck BlackJack is a very simple game submitted to [https://itch.io/jam/lowrezjam-2024].

Bug fix: Made the file download concurrent. It was too slow and people might have thought the game was broken since it can be a blank screen for a while. I just tried the game the next day and saw a couple things. One I guess you can have a tie in blackjack? And two, more importantly, the aces being 11  sometimes doesn't work in the original code.

Get the code here: [oliverclothes/below-deck (github.com)].

For this jam, the game has to be 64x64 resolution.

I basically was having issues with Godot (maybe I don't understand how to use it for low res).
