can't scroll yet so I generated a few different maps to get one that was interesting in the upper left corner, so stay for the whole screeny. |

under 2300 bytes and half that is the title screen.
the ability to open files has now been programmed, although atm all the files contain is a map. map generation is now fully functional. working on writing the map scrolling code. |

The progress is looking great. I hope to see this finished soon (maybe as a Christmas present to UTI?)  |

thank you.
its not even close to being finished though. once Kerm gets out of finals week and makes some changes/fixes to the GUI API Ill finish up the interface (about an hours worth of work), then start coding the game rules

[quote name='"email to makers of strategic conquest"']from Thomas Dickerson

subject strategic conquest ai
mailed-by gmail.com
greetings,
I have no idea how active delta tao software is anymore, however I really enjoy strategic conquest 3, although I never got a chance to try 4. Anyway, to get to the point, as a side project I am attempting to recreate a version of strategic conquest for the ti-83+ series of graphing calculators in z80 assembly language. I have completed much of the work on the interface/graphics, but I was wondering if you would be willing to supply me with the complete movement/combat rules used by strategic conquest, as well as possibly a rundown of the different heuristics used by each level of AI. I am attempting this as a GPL'ed project, not for anything commercial, in honor of all the hours I spent playing strategic conquest on a computer I no longer have access to. Any help you could supply would by great. Thank you. [/quote]
I'll post more when I get a reply. |

I'll keep my fingers crossed.
and the rest looks good.

well, no luck on the AI, but he did provide me with some useful information.

The AI is far more complicated than the rest of the game programming
combined.
Thanks!

hmmm.....I was somewhat afraid of that...I guess Ill have to do the AI myself....would it still be possible to get information on the rest of the game rules? I want to make sure I have them all covered, and I get the feeling there may be things I haven't discovered yet. For example, only in the last few games I played did I discover that destroyers are excellent for attacking coastal tanks.
thanks again,
thomas

Well, there's the manual:

Excellent, I hadn't seen that particular document before. Thanks for all the help, once I make some more progress on coding in the rest of the rules, and do finish hotkey support Ill remember to send you a screenshot of it running on my calculator.
Thanks for all the help,
Thomas |

| sadly not much in the last month, I've had been insanely busy (missed more school this quarter than in the last 5 years together and none of it due to sickness). The last progress I made was I started working on making the tilemap scrollable, and I converted all 900 or so lines to use the DCS macros instead of the hard coded calls to make it more readable. |
