grable, I put you in the credits, because I used some code from the code archive of yours, I did lots to it, but you gave me the start I needed thanks

. its a boardgame tool, it allows you to measure on a tv or monitor , things you need to know in boardgames an miniatures. it pastes a template on the screen that you can rotate of any shape, so imagine Warhammer where you need to know who was in the blast area, you would use a circle, what makes this worth doing is it works with vassal.

if you have ever played digital boardgames , like vassal.org its free with thousands of boardgames to play.

or Virtual tabletops , this app helps that

is it like the Magnavox Odyssey? Stick a perspects game board on the TV and move lights around?

that's great :)

Vassal is a digital tabletop, with lots of free games , all you need are the rules of the particular boardgame, and some have the rules already with the module, and some are free.

its a perfect version of a real boardgame. vassal.org, look at the download modules files button top of page

Ok,so it is for digital boardgames.

Hmm - for now I prefer the "paper/cardboard"-based ones (btw: played "Space Crusade" last saturday - after ~25yrs on the shelf)

TV is used here for retro gaming (NES, SNES or 90s PC Games like Atomic Bomberman).


Maybe times change if things like that MS computer-table get cheap products for every household (doubt it for now).

we all prefer real card and paper, its for playing other people in the world with multiplayer, and solo. its great you should give it a look, also if your disabled you may not be able to use a table only a PC.
