wolhess Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 A verry funny game, after nearly 6 houres: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Yup, Wellington will resign if it does not have any good moves left or if all of its moveable pieces are dead. Looking at your screenshot, you likely have 6 bombs and the flag, and the only piece that could move is the second one from the left on the second row. You have it surrounded with a major and general and it's likely a lesser piece, so any move it makes will get it killed in the next turn. Wellington resigns in this case. Well played My current game is not going as well, unfortunately... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I was introduced to this game in the local Boys' Club when I was growing up. It was actually a pretty busy place back then, although when I went by to look at it a couple of years ago, it doesn't have much foot traffic at all anymore. . .but at least it is still there, unlike most of the other places I hung out in when I was younger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 I've always loved that game, and it's apparently still quite big online. Last and final update posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) It's definitely a classic here. I know it and my kids know it and we play it quite often. This is what the Danish box looks like. Edited February 23, 2019 by Asmusr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what the Danish box looks like. Can you take a picture of the pieces? The first version of Stratego I bought while living in France had round towers with the graphics of the officers printed on them. No stickers and such. I found it much more pleasing than the current versions. Edit: Never mind. Your box seems to be one of the newer versions. Mine was from the late 70's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimes99er Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I played it a few times as a kid. Here's a picture of the pieces I used to play with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 That's it! Loved that design... Another game I am eying at reproducing for the TI is Campaign, again one of my favorite late childhood games. The board can just fit on the TI's 32x24 Graphics screen. A very ambitious project if I ever get to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOraRJHGOkk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 With the help of Senior Falcon and his outstanding XB compiler, we were able to get Stratego to compile! Along the way, both the game and the compiler were enhanced, so make sure you check out the latest version of the latter, ISABELLA 2.0, under the XB development thread. Now, Stratego runs over 6x faster, with an average response time of 10 seconds only, and it gets shorter as the number of units dwindles! The AI has been beefed up as well since compilation freed up more memory, and I even managed to uncover a couple of deep bugs within the depth of that complex code. The game is now far more playable from a time-requirement standpoint, and I'm very pleased with the end-product.

+jedimatt42 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Damn, I tried it out a day too early I spent most of yesterday enjoying the TI's seemingly exhaustive calculations... This was the go to when I was in middle school, for myself and one of my rare TI buddies. After we'd get tired of trying to make progress with the adventure editor, we'd fail over to his Stratego board. Nostalgia at every turn on this forum! -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Nice work! Now with the compiled version I can win in about an hour. Very enjoyable!!! -M@ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Uh... so when is the cartridge .BIN coming out? 카트리지 버전? ¿Versión de cartucho? Patronenversion? Версия картриджа? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 "Patrone" is what you either put into an inkjet or laser printer (also "Kartusche"), or into a gun. :-) The proper word would be "Steckmodul" (plug-in module) or simply "Modul". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 No idea how to create a Modul ( ) for this game. It loads 3 program files sequentially from disk and saves/reads data to/from disk. If someone has any suggestions I am happy to work on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has any suggestions I am happy to work on it. That was one of the reasons I was pushing you to compile this. Once you know how, it is not difficult to have one compiled program load and run another. It really opens up a whole range of possibilities.

+arcadeshopper Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 well it won't work as a module unless it's an 'all in one' binary .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Cart+Disk (Tunnels of Doom style)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Cart+Disk (Tunnels of Doom style)? ..well the prob is with the module based loaders it requires extended basic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Cart+Disk (Tunnels of Doom style)? I think that would defeat the purpose of a cart unless multiple scenarios need to be loaded like TOD, which is not the case here. If the disk system is going to be used, one might as well just have everything on the disk. I have to admit that it would be cool though!
