Announcements And Comments > TwixT - Old board game, ported to GBA, anyone interested?

#50214 - mnemonic - Sat Aug 06, 2005 4:48 pm

for game concept and rules, check here:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Dennis_Matheson/3m20.htm

This is a two-player game, there is no link support as of yet (doubtful unless somebody really shows that they are interested)

There is no computer AI to play against. (Such implementation would be mind-boggling to say the least.)

I'm a very amature coder so the code is weak, and the fence linking detection is horrible. Not to mention red player can put fences over black's(blue on the GBA - easier to see) - even though you're not supposed to. I'm to lazy to implement detection. Besides, anyone serious about playing the game should know the rules and would easily be able to avoid/ignore this. There is also no Win condition detection. The players would have to know that they have won.

Regardless it is still a playable version of TwixT on the GBA.

If anyone is interested in this at all please post here.

Awesome! That is one of my all-time classics on my shelf!

I had been playing Othello...now it will be time to switch.

On a side note...I hope to port the Fuedal board game to some sort of computer version (possibly GBA - or DS)

Don't know when I'll get started though, school is about to start up again.
