No screenshot, video or description even of what the game is?

People are rarely inclined to download random exes onto their pc without any idea what it is.

I'm sure once he fixes the image link, there will be an image here in due course.

If you were *really* interested, you might have found it yourself on his site :-)

Couldnt see a screenshot on his site. Just a mahjong rules item.

My site has a range of options on the left hand side ( which I assume any visitor can see ?) the Viking game (exe & source) is an option under Win Programs or BMX demos,
both pages have a link to a screen shot. As for the Viking game, this is an early form of chess, is turn based and I have implemented the basic Hnefatafl rule set.
One person plays the attackers based around the outside edge and one person plays the defenders with the king based in the centre.
The defenders objective is to move the king to one of the corner squres, the attackers objective is to capture the king.
All this is explained in more detail under the rules option in the Viking game program.
I have included the source code so you can compile it yourself if you are worried about the exe.
I would appreciate any feedback/sugestions concerning the game play.
As for the code I practise the infinite number of monkeys approach to coding so please criticise. Have fun Cps

It's a tough crowd here. They don't expect to have to look for stuff themselves :-)

I have implemented the basic Hnefatafl rule set.

Which is easy for you to say!

Looks good.
Nice to see some source too :-)

Thanks!

:-) :-) point taken
The Viking game (exe or source) and screen shot can be downloaded from this page on my site:
http://caroleandcarl0191.rf.gd/pg5/winprog.htm or source only from this page:

This Viking Game and Tri-Tactics are built around a game frame work BaseNetV3 which is a GUI implementation of GNET.
In its raw form it only allows chat and the creation of a player group, but all the parts are there to form a networked game.
The source code for this can be found on page: http://caroleandcarl0191.rf.gd/pg7/bmxdemo.htm
Just got to get the Mac version sorted, have fun Cps

This does look very interesting, I like the presentation and it is great to see some source code provided as well (;-)

As for the code I practise the infinite number of monkeys approach to coding so please criticise.


Nice coding philosphy, I kinda use the Leonardo coding philosphy to a point, that is generally leave my 'errors' scattered around (to a point) so I can see how I got to where I am.

fired up my BMax compiler for the first time in a while - nice work.
