Hi,

please take a look at my first BlitzMAX-project doishi.
It is based on Ishido, a tile laying game.

You can download the latest version here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/doishi/

It runs under Windows and Linux.

I would like to know your opinion.

Regards,
Christoph

I really liked this game, and I'm not a big fan of tile games.

I liked the graphics and sound, very clean and simple but effective.

At first, I didn't like how you had to hold down on the How to Play button, but after playing for a bit I realized that I like it that way, as I have to check the instructions a lot and its fast and simple to see them.

The one thing I had a problem with is the 'buttons' (Take back, new game, and how to play). I suggest you put rectangles them so they look more like buttons. Also, (a minor thing) maybe reorganizing the buttons would be nice. Putting them in a column to the left and then the score right above the tile would look nice. Just a little suggestion.

One last thing, the command prompt window is kind of irritating.

I'm not expert or anything, but that's my input. I think its really fun, and I am going to leave now to go play it more :)

Hello Sauer,

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback!

Now I'm highly motivated for my next project.

In the next release of doishi I will change the buttons as you suggests and I will look for a solution to get rid of the command prompt window.

Best regards,
Christoph

I updated the game and fixed the command prompt window.

Looks much better!

One more thing I noticed (sorry!) is that the window's 'X' doesn't work. Again, not really necessary, but something.
