update, Detailed:
-----------------
:misc:
+ You can now buy watchNplay through PayPal!
www.paypal.com for more info.
-ETERNAL NON LIMITED UPDATES- costs:
30 US Dollars
(this means you get all new versions)
-ONE UP TO DATE FULL VERSION- cost:
5 US Dollars
Make payable to joar.berntsen@netcom.no
You will then receive your very own up to date compiled exes,
and probably very fast too. (0-2 days)
- Prefs file changed,
so registered users must delete their
sys:prefs/env-archive/watchNplay.prefs file.
ALL files are now also kept inside the program directory.
+ Activated newlook menues of aos3.0 and up.
I didn't know this existed until now. :/
Now the menues will be much more compatable
with your workbench.
The menu names are also changed.
+ New game, 'ColorLander'.
Currently with 2 different gametypes.
I used spaceascii as a subgame for this new game
and altered spaceascii to the better.
This is the first time I have made an automated link
between 2 different modes/progs.
And it looks good, so I will probably make more such links.
+ I wanted to experiment more on how to make AI,
and instead of adding a set of rules to a game,
I made it depend on knowledge (past experience)
so that it could learn to be good itself.
I couldn't go for a complicated game,
so I made a 'tic tac toe' game,
also known as 'noughts and crosses'
The learning AI algo finally turned out to be a success
and the game now has various AI knowledge files
that can be loaded as wished, anything from easy to impossible.
It also learns (slowly) while you play it.
+ changed position of the quit menuitem,
by request from a supporting user.
+ 2 additional new games are 'Under Construction'
:in Columns:
+ Optimized many things, including drawing.
+ added 7 different special blocks.
There was none before.
+ secrets. :)
+ I changed name from Columns to Coolumns
now that I have made it more than a standard clone.
+ narrowed playfield to half, and added score features.
+ The bricks are now drawn without numbers by default,
since it can confuse when used with the new special blocks
that has various symbols on them.
:in Points:
+Added a menuitem that gives the points
predefined position and movement values.
:in poker:
+Thanks to Thilo Kohler, I have now added card gfx
with his image.include for amiblitz2.
This gfx can also be replaced or edited.
:in Ant commander:
-I moved all ant commander code
out of watchNplay.
This because it had little playability
and was very large in the source.
+I may reinstate it in the future,
as I have the code stored on my hd.
