"With respect to Alexey and Xuul for creating the great Conquerorgame"

Everything between '/*'and '*/' should be considered as commentary, information given about whats being done or still should be done, '//////' at the end of a line is also commentary specific for that line .

This project is somewhat going to be conquerorgame clone, (Yes I started 1 again, but instead of madman start coding we put the plan on paper first) probably will be programmed in Java with the idea of it
being downloadable, but also a webbrowser version being created(Which in Java isn't hard to switch too).

Since Xuul and Alexey are very busy in real life with jobs etc and do not have much spare time to update Conquerorgame, also because the
coding is old/messy I decided to start a sort of rebuild. However, nothing of the original Conquerorgame looks/pictures will be copied without permission from Alexey.
As for now(And probably will stay that way) this will be completely open source and there are absolutely no plans to make a profit nor will there ever be.

Currently Working on this project:
Paars: Designer, Coder
Acro: Designer(Ai, Creating algoritms)

We can always use more people to help out, if you're interested please post it in here and what exactly you would like to help out with.
Just suggestions or possible idea's or options are always welcome.
Also still actively looking for someone to create sounds(Hopefully your offer still stands Rippe?) And Graphics(People who're any good with Photoshop)

Sorry but I don't think I have any skills that can help you guys (except suggestions for the Master-ai - awesome btw), but it sounds great! I hope you succeed. Good luck.

i have school shoulda done sooner jesus

i could provide grafics (look at my magnificent photoshop works released before) and sound but i think if you make a new game it should be in a diffrent setting that it cant be connected to conq so nothing scratches conqs unique surface. i somehow dont like the idea of a "better" conq copy. i just love the original too much and therefor respect alex work. something like a postnuke american civil war (though americas map is pretty boring) or something else. we better go new ways using our knowledge and experience anyway.

i wish i could help, but i cant think of anything i could help with.. I am not so familiar with programming, and not really skilled with graphics.

I have photoshop, some lower level courses on how to use it, along with some lower level photography and developing professional digital photographs using photoshop. I also have a brother who attended Art Institute in Seattle who I can bounce the pictures off when he has the time.

I'm in Belgium now @ gf. Back on Sunday I LL be having the chance for an extended reply. To think/work on Ai and such you do not have to be a programmer. The programmer just has to implements the coding of the ai thinking which can just be written out in English.

Also when im back i ll post the newest update.

grtz Paars



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/26/2010 09:13AM by Paars.

well getting the english directions for an AI could be taken right from these forums and cleaned up. Paars Strategy?

Not quite that simple six.

i realise that. i used to do some programming but i'm just saying that anybody could do that part.

anyway i just logged in here to make one small request of this project. please make the game capable of being full screen so i do not have to sit a half meter from my screen to be able to read it

A small update, I build the basic Country class.

I now work from monday till friday from 8 am to 6 pm, + 45 minut travel time. And 2 weekends a month I work saturdays from 6 am to 3 pm and sundays 12 pm to 6 pm, so I have less time to work on this project. But I´m still Working on it regularely but it will take longer.

Be expecting an update within the next few days.

Paars.

As expted I haven´t had a lot of time for coding, but I´m going to post the classes I´ve been working on here anyway to show at least some progress. ;) And yes the few classes I coded are far from done. The code for a lobby System I made somewhere in the past just need to get it from my other pc.

ok i have no idea what paars is doin there but it looks kinda good... so i made a rough setting to place a new game at.

Ok, I finally arranged to get my old pc here.
I set it up but it gave me some problems so after a lot of cursing, bitching deathwishes etc. I managed to get it working.
I got some very important old java coding, which I used to build a main lobby system + chat system. Also the basic coding to add images and such.

The one i were testing with you?

yeah, but with slight updates. I do need to rewrite all of it, but its still very usefull.
