Skanque

WHAT is Skanque?

Skanque is your new drinking game! It's free, it's easy to use and best of all it's open-source!

Since 2008 it has gotten a lot of people drunk (in Aarhus, Denmark) and now it's time it hits the international market. Where there is alcohol, there are skanks, and therefore there should be Skanque.

The Skanque slogan is: "for you that didn't come for the dancing", which refers to a danish expression concerning the fact that one comes to a party to drink, not to dance.

HISTORY of Skanque

Skanque started out as a console-based game. The initial development was driven by the fact that I, Jesenko Mehmedbasic, did not have any cards in my appartment at that given time. So the obvious solution was to implement a quick solution to the problem at hand.

I needed a drinking game and that's what the initial version was: a console based drinking game with only hardcoded functionality.

A few days later I created the same game in Swing, and I have since that day used it along with some of my friends.

Development was slow and I made some very bad design choices in the process along with making (what then looked like genius) stupid experiments, that all failed. Until the 24th of june, almost all development has been scratched.

On the 24th of june 2009 I rolled back my cvs repository to a early version, and went from there.

It's now fully functioning, and ready to go.
