Hi, to evaluate FreeBasic I've written a small board game for Windows, called Tablut.
You can get it here, including sources:

Pretty cool! It is a bit hard to beat for me too though. ;)

Nice, I didn't know that one.

hah Pretty neat. I'm just learning by getting beat and picking up on the computer's strategy. It's a lot easier to win as red getting your viking out of the stage.

I've never heard of the game either but is very cool. Although I somewhat struggled winning as either.

Yes it is a very nice game.

I know this game as "Kings Corner", but either playing against humans was easier than playing against the computer, or I have gotten very rusty!

Thanks

Hi passerby,
I like your game very much..
..and I do like your wrapper ww.bas..
..but I can't compile it with Fb0.15b using FBIde 0.4.6
(ww.bi is already in ..\inc)
Can you please tell me why?
best regards

FBIde's default is to compile a single file. Tablut, for example, needs to be compiled as two files, like that:

Code: Select all

fbc -s gui tablut.bas ww.bas

Or you can compile each file seperately (using a -m switch on tablut.bas), and then link together the resulting .o files. FBIde could do this, too, when you change the commands in View / Settings / FreeBasic to run Make commands. I personally use the Scite Editor and Gnu Make, and an example makefile.mak is included with the tablut sources.
Hope I could help you.

Oh yes, you did ;)

was the line I needed, thank you very much..
After copying the files to the right places, I could compile it..
..if you please could add a line, so that I could win the game? :rofl:
In short: even my self-compiled tablut beat me in the first try..
..but at least it works, so again thx a lot
btw: where did you find an fb-language-file for scite?
best regards

When I downloaded Scite V1.68 from somewhere FB was already supported. However, you first have to switch it on in the global config file. These configuration scripts are something I do not like about Scite. I have not found my dream source editor yet, and I tried many.

Did you already try Ultra-Edit?
Now I've read the 'wrapper'-thread..
Yes, these configuration files aren't easy to use.
(I had a lot to do to set my Tab's to 2)
