Glossary - Terms and Definitions

The options notebook page contains numerous individual settings that you can adjust as desired.

Log hands to CFSPoker.LOG

The option is provided to allow all hands to be written to a log file. The file name is CFSPoker.LOG and it is created in the same directory where the CFSPoker.INI file exists.

If you choose to turn on the log file function, the file will accumulate data for all the hands you play.

The advantage to this is that you can redisplay hands from a previous session.

The disadvantage is that the log file can grow quite large and not only occupy disk storage but also have a negative impact on the performance of the game.

If you choose to use the log file, it is your responsibility to prune it or delete it on a periodic basis. You can tell how many hands are being stored in the log file by selecting the Redisplay hands function. The last hand played is always the first hand redisplayed.

Note:  

The default is not to create the log file.

MB2 will Bet and Deal / Draw

By default, mouse button 2, generally the right button, can be used in place of the game window pushbutton that has the focus. This use of the MB2 can be inhibited by unchecking this entry.

Random sounds on winning hands (nn)

CFSPoker comes with numerous .WAV files that, by default, are played in response to a winning hand. Deselecting this check box results in the same sound, rather than random sounds, being played (if sounds are not disabled) for all winning hands.

The number in parentheses is the total number of CFSPoker.Wnn .WAV files present in the CFSPoker directory.

Show hint text on game window

The default structure of the game window includes a hint text area beneath the menu bar. The hint text area can be removed with this check box. This reduces the minimum height required by the game window.

Show statistics on exit

The default action of CFSPoker is to display the game statistics when you click the Quit pushbutton to end the playing session. This behavior can be disabled with this check box.
