Here's a game I wrote called "Ocean Warfare" - similiar
to the old "Battleship" game some of us played as kids.
You play this one against the computer. Wink

There is no setup, just unzip to a folder of your choice.

Zipped - includes graphics and sound files:

http://www.trinex.net/users/mac/vdsfiles/ocean_war.zip

It requires VDSrun30.dll, you can get it here:

http://www.trinex.net/users/mac/vdsfiles/vdsrun30.zip

Unzip vdsrun30.zip to the game folder, or to your
Windows/System folder.

Have fun... Wink

Heya Dread, Smile

Hmmm.... decimal prob? It uses OPTION DECIMALSEP, "."
but here's line 1407:

WAIT ".1"

Error 14 is "invalid parameter to command".

It's been tested on 95 and XP in the U.S. - what do ya use to
wait 1/10 of a second over there? Confused

Does it give errors for anyone else?

Cheers, Mac Smile

Hey Mac

Sure could sound like a decimal thingie. But if you have specified a point as dec-sep then it should
be fine. Confused

Error consistent on W2K + WXP (Danish editions).

Hey Dread, Smile

Did ya dload the VDSrun30.dll or use yer own? The
zipped one is version 3.51.

Don't really know what else to try at this point. Confused

Anyone else have any ideas?

Cheers, Mac Smile

I use my own runtime DLL of course - which is also 3.51...

Dunno if your script is kinda secret but if not feel free to mail it to me - then I'll try to run through the IDE...

Thanks Dread for finding the problem. Wink

Users should download the file (ocean_war.zip) again,
it has been fixed and re-compiled.

For those who are interested - there was a GOSUB
command above OPTION DECIMALSEP, "." which called
a routine with the decimal WAIT. Embarassed

Great little game. Cool sounds. Way to go, Mac Thumbs Up

Took a couple of rounds with it...

Two comments:

Human player's last hit at an enemy unit doesn't make an explosion, just a "woop" Wink

Like any respectable game it has a cheat Laughing

If you place a horizontal unit in the top right corner of
the matrix, it will be invulnerable so you win every time..

Thanks guys. Smile

I'll look into those Dread. Wink

Fixed the lack of explosion on player's last hit at an
enemy unit. It's re-compiled and uploaded.

Looking into the "top right corner" glitch. Wink

Cheers, Mac Smile

EDIT 1 - Found/fixed another bug. When you play with less
than have 5 ships, the computer would previously NOT win
when it sank your last one. This is fixed and re-uploaded. Wink

Got the "top right corner" glitch fixed (I think) and
uploaded again...

Let me know how it works - or if anyone finds any
more bugs. Wink

Cheers, Mac Smile

[EDIT] - Fixed grid coordinates bug - uploaded 05-01-04
