Hnefatafl: The Viking Board Game (download on page 7)

[Zera]

It shouldn't be a problem to include the images in the HTML, since I assume the whole package is going to be archived together. The filesize won't be anything to gawk at. Honestly - I think any HDD can spare 200 KB or so.

I would mostly worry about the hosting going down at some point. If people are downloading the game a couple of years from now and they can't pull-up any images from the serve, then it would kind of suck for them.

I'm not really opposed to the idea, though. Whatever you think is best.

[{AP}]

You have a point.
With the file it is!

I'll release one more version here later (probably on the 2nd because I won't be online tomorrow) and then, if I figure I can't manage the AI, I'll upload a version to Ticalc.org.

we can have images integrated in HTML files? Is that supported by all browsers and how does it work? Are they in HEX/bin or something? Or do you just mean include them in a folder? I think it might be best to do the former in this case, since some ppl have no internet at home.

I'll upload in download section when you posted new version on ticalc ^^

This is why I'd include them.

This is a great game!  Awesome job!  *Now if only I understood the rules...

Yes, that's how we're doing it. It's impossible to do any other way without being connected to the internet. (as you thought) ;P

Also, I'm going to release the source of the code commented separately in case someone wants to add to the project since my motivation has died out recently. It'll contain what EVERY variable is used for and what's going on at parts of the code. It's written in pure basic so it shouldn't be too hard to pick up and change around after the comments are included. I was really hoping to get the AI going, but it's proving more difficult than I can handle.

I'll have the downloads ready later today. I'll be a bit busy now.

If anyone does decide to pick-up on the code and wants to implement some sort of A.I., they can contact me for the details we've hashed-out so far. I had a few ideas, but I'm really not sure if any of them would be too feasible.

Either way, it's cool to have a strictly two-player version, at the least.

I'll try it^^ I want to try to implement AI

[DJ Omnimaga]

I hope you don't give up AP but nice work so far on this! I hope your motivation returns at one point

[{AP}]

Here's the final version I'll be doing.
Let me know of any bugs since I haven't quite tested out this last one but I'm pretty sure that it still works just fine.
Readme included and all.

The source with comments is separate. It's just a txt file and it's not 'copy-pastable' to any TI-editor I know of. Just use the files in the zip of the release when editing and refer to the txt file for any questions on what the code does or what the variables used are for.
If you have any further questions about the code itself, contact me however you wish. If you have any questions about the AI, contact Zera.

Ok cool downloaded it now ^^

[jsj795]

For me, somehow source+comments are cracked. I see bunch of chinese characters... don't know why -_-;;
oh well, I'll study the program itself

[Zera]

Looks great.

I like the changes you made to the readme since I last checked it out. The BG color is definitely more fitting.

I'm wondering if this will also be hosted in Omnimaga's downloads section. Might make it easier to find, for those who don't regularly browse the forums.

[jsj795]

I'm gonna look at the code, and try to implement the AI...
If it doesn't work, oh well. 2 player is also fine with me^^
I just have to teach my friends how to play it. I really like the readme too. It looks professional
