strategy game - first pass

[RichardW]

This is your basic strategy game. Graphics are still rudimentary where they exist. I am still developing this and trying to make it more entertaining and graphically interesting and simpler to play. [br]1191957294_404_FT0_game.zip

Okay, this isn't really a useful post, but I did want you to know that I actually loaded your game to my PPC and looked at it.* It looks pretty sharp.* I just need to read the HTML file so I can figure out what to do :)* I would offer one suggestion, though.* You might consider making the dialogs using the GameAPI instead of standard windows forms.* It just sort of throws off the feel of the game when you go from a cool looking game screen to plain old windows dialog screen.* Just a thought.

Yes, Richard, this looks promising. Just had a few minutes today playing, experienced one crash ;-) and wanted to give you a "please go on!" Strategy games of this kind are rather hard to find for the PocketPC...

Nice work so far. Looks very indepth. I don't mind much the Windows dialogs, they look nice and clean. But again, GameAPI dialogs would definitaly look more polished.

Yes I was struggling with how to use the gameapi to get user input. Are there any examples of gameapi "input" forms? How would you do a simple text box?
