Hello again. Work progress' on my game world. One city is complete, along with a battle engine of sorts. Player and monsters can attack, dodge, and parry, if they are skilled enough...and I am about to begin work on the Trade Road, Whispering Forest, and the Ironroot Mountains. Along with the elves, dwarves, brigands etc. I recently finished a gambling house which will be in one of my cities, and I wondered if anyone, or everyone, would consider testing it, and then throwing criticsm at me? I will most likely add more games as I think of some, but there is currently three to play. So. Do I upload it into the archive?

Well, you *could* upload it as a DEMO game. Or you could send it to anyone that replies to this topic.
Send it to me. To get my e-mail addy just click on the e-mail picture to the side of my user name (computer whizz).
I'll test it out and give you a rather brutal, but honest, opinion :)

I'll do it! I'd love to test out a game. Email me at [email protected]. I'll send replies on the game several times a week if you want, or one big report, or however you want it. PLEASE PICK ME!

Oh yeah.... I remember this....
I played it twice (and it is VERY good BTW!) and then forgot about it. Sorry!
I meant to look into the code. May I advise you about one thing though?
When you start the music, then might you change a variable to 1, then when you enter that room it checks for the variable, and if the music's playing then leave it, if the music isn't, then start it. And if you leave the area then stop it.... That's the way I'd do it because I don't like the jaged way that when you go outside the music re-starts!
But I REALLY like the cards :)

Excellent idea Computer Whizz, and I was trying to think of a way to do that. I was getting annoyed with the music starting over and over! Thank you for testing it...glad you liked it.
The cards were my favourite game too. I thought of another game, and I am adding it.

Well Wolfe...... I looked at the code, and was HORRIFIED at the length of the code. Internal procedures here, there, EVERYWHERE!!! What did the number go up to? 150-odd?
And in these I noticed that you were doing ALOT of awkward coding.... if has <???; =1> and not has <result; =1>...... you could simply have if <???; result> then ..... else .....
it must have taken you DAYS to do all of that!?!?
The way you did different procedure's, which were all the same ( ) just because it was a different number!
I'll see if I can do anything and get something back to you.....
