Laitevaatimukset: modattu Xbox

Xbox-versio jokaiselle tutusta Connect4-nimisestä taitopelistä. Tarkoituksena on - nimensä mukaisesti - saada neljän pallon rivi pystyyn, vaakaan tai vinottain, ennen kuin vastustaja ehtii tehdä sen.

Connect4 1.1
------------
Update(23-07-03)

- Added network support!!
- You can now play connect4 over the internet.
- One player must host then the other player can join.
- The host must have some sort of TCP port farwarding on the
  router/PC. So the Client can connect to your Xbox.
- It is using blocking winsocks. This makes the game look frozen
  when it isn't your move.
- Also when the player disconnects from the game. You will have
  to reboot your Xbox as it will just sit there waiting for the
  next move. I tried to to stop this but couldn't.
- This is my first winsock/internet project and it was fun so
  expect more of the same.
- I have to look into non-blocking socks as I think is sux a bit
  with it freezing all the time.

Connect4
--------
Second release from team Jippie & Novahux(23-06-03).

The rules for connect-four are simple. 
The game is played on an upright seven column board. Each
column has six spots. Two players play by alternately dropping
a chip down one of the columns. The chip drops to the lowest
unoccupied spot in that column. The first player to get four chips
in a row, either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, wins. The game
ends in a stalemate if it fills before someone wins. 

Still no sound, having real problems. I want to try and make
a class that can play wma/wav/midi/sgt files. That works on both
PC and Xbox, but what I see the PC & Xbox seem to be very
different. I found a simple class that does just that at
code project (http://www.codeproject.com/audio/cmidimusic.asp),
But I wasted a lot of time on it and got nowhere.

Oh well, I hope I sort it out soon :-(


Games on the way....

Boxes    - check the website, as this one is next maybe(having
           problem with AI)
Chess    - nothing complex, just a simple version.
Othello  - same.

After these I hope to start getting more in to 3D. It's just I
like to program and these games can be reproduced quicky when
life/work gives me the time to do it....

This site goes down a lot by the look of things. Keep trying I
like to hear from others.

BTW Novahux has just updated the site looks pretty cool now :-)
