hello i wish i could work with you but i lack the minimal competences in windows developpement * * *about Cyberboard evolution* a few problems i have with naval warfare
** an API to manage automaticaly all the moves via an external file willbe great without having to made them 1 by 1 by "hand" i use cyberboard as an umpire with several players they are not alternative move all the blues and the reds players send me theur moves at the same time and i have to resolve collisions, relative speed... so the players can't send me cyberborad file i have to plot all the moves for all the players ** rotating tiles greater than 1 hex usually the ships are on 2 hex the rotation is made on the tile center, not on the corner so for this sort of tkiles the moves has to be corrected after rotation because the piece shift partly out of the hex good luck for the heavy work Le 15/04/2007 19:12, Carl Abrams a écrit : > > > > > > Thanks for the kind words regarding CB! > > > Not a problem, Dale - I've been lurking on here for several years, > actually - just not getting that active.
