Let's play!

I just taught it to my kids…great starter game…feed the addiction, let it grow, then wham them with Global 1940!

Well I voted for having a competitive game, but when we play we always make sure we have fun and a competitive game. I’ve lost everytime but I have learned to play better now and I can hold off as the axis against two veterans as the allies for about 6 hours. They used to beat me in 1 hour.

That’s intriguing. I know very little C/C++ programming, unfortunately, but I feel that such a project should be web-based anyways. The demands are not so great that they make a web application unsuitable speed-wise, and the limitations on platform compatibility really suck for application programming. I primarily work (and play) in linux. I have windows installed for the occasional Ravenshield game, but that is it. As a result, the mapview program isn’t much use to me, but I don’t mind having the board set up. In fact, I probably prefer it. In chess I always did better on a board because I could look over everything at once and plan simultaneously. In something like mapview or even in the PC CDROM version of A&A, there is too much moving around to see everything that you have to plan in geographical phases…I dunno. It’s not a really big deal either way.

Coincidentally I just landed a contract job to develop a web application for a company near me that requires a pretty large code base of user-related stuff, like accounts and cross linking accounts in a client/contractor relationship. I am well acquainted with the folks and am free to use the objective code that I write that is not central to the project. So, I can use a lot of the database access / user account related code towards this project once I am done the work project.

I am pretty excited about taking a stab at this.

Thanks again for your help and advice.

But I’ll tell you what, it’s nice to see some alternative views about how to take a new angle on the game.~kyrial

Thanks :D .

qand whats this crap about super mega addict crap

The basic stratagy is to get your men of the island and counter an allied factory in India. So you need more transports to get everything done…

Well, bless your heart :roll: and don’t you want to be thorough :P :wink:
