That is some might fine sleuthing. I was going to do a check of my TiddlyWiki code to make sure I stayed true to the Basic language code. Wherever I didn't, then I want to either alter my code to match, or note the discrepancy. (I veered off the original code as I got a little tired of those "GOTO's" in the Basic code.)
First thing on my list: handling of no more $cash (i.e. start over again with $100) and ability to "reset" at anytime.) Well, I'm now thinking of tinkering with the way first and third cards are chosen... One thing I rather like: if you save the TiddlyWiki, the game is right back where you left off the next time you open the TiddlyWiki.
