Ok, I shall start off by appologizing, because I do not wish to offend anybody. Now that that's out of the way, here goes. Jim, you must especially forgive this rant. I just don't see why putting in the ability for players to create their own chance cards, community chest cards, and whatever they want to create into Monopoly is so difficult. I mean, yes there are a lot of issues with files and context and programming languages and such, but there's one simple way all of that could be solved. Something that I, with my limited knowledge of programming, could probably do. The answer, simple as it sounds, is a game creation wizard. Using a bunch of functions and GUI's, players could create their own properties within the limits of the game board, and even assign prices to them. They could set the mortgage rates, the prices of houses, and everything. All of this would be written into edit boxes, of course. Then, if the player feels like creating a new chance or community chest card, they can do that as well by writing the text of the card, and choosing from a list waht that card does. If it takes money from the player, for example, the creator can assign just how much money. If it moves the player a certain number of spaces, the creator could tell it just how many. Even if it moves to a specific location, the creator could choose from a second list containing all the locations on the current board. It's pretty basic stuff, in my opinion. Then, all of it could be written to a game file, sort of like a saved game, and the player could choose to play that saved game once they've started monopoly. Just my thoughts. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Vlasak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 4:01 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly PCS games version
