Gury Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Bravo, nice logical game. There are few good hi-res A8 games around and this one is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 why not enhance the highres gfx with pm overlays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathy Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Howdy folks Why didn't you enter it in the ABBUC Software Contest 2006? Unfortunately, you can't enter it anymore, as you've put it on the internet already. But you could have won 500, 250, 125, 75 or 50 euro's if it would have been among the first five entries. Look here for the rules for the 2006 contest. BTW, for all those who haven't published their software yet, you have untill the 15th of this month (August 2006) to enter. Greetings Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) Nicely done, here's my "change" wish - instead of the levels the user can choose to play a single game where the field starts with 2 stones per player starting in each corner, e.g white in top left and bottom right, black in top right and bottom left. Gameplay seems a little slow, but I can't put my finger on why. Maybe cursor speed?

Allas Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Well done!, cool logic game. It's very nice, but like Heaven said... PM overlays could enhance the Hi-res mode. Anyway is a great game, congratulations!!! Mathy: ABBUC members should to post the contest information (rules, new entries, maybe screenshots, etc) in this forum periodically for marketing purpose. Well, I think every contest from anywhere should be announced here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracon Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) The game was written in compiled Turbo-Basic XL. As I read, the author said he had too little time and memory for making additional colors, but... it turned out to look not that bad anyway! KLONY wasn't intended to become (another) game for ABBUC's contest - it was done just for fun (and to test programming skills after big break) !

Mathy Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Howdy Dracon KLONY wasn't intended to become (another) game for ABBUC's contest - it was done just for fun (and to test programming skills after big break) ! If this is "just for fun and to test programming skills after big break", then what can we expect next? Software doesn't have to be "intended for the ABBUC contest". If you enter it though, the only things you have to do are: - not publish it before the contest ends. - send it to the person who's collecting the software for the contest. Advantages: - You keep the rights to the software - You can win money. If your software wins first price, that's 500 euro. IIRC the money you win is converted, if necessary, in the currency of your own country. BTW 500 euro is slightly more the 625 (yes, sixhundredandtwentyfive) U.S. dollar.

www.atarimania.com Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Very nice program Could somebody explain why there are four versions? BTW, people may want to check the similar Chain Reaction written in BASIC. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) Four versions, because of two DOSes (DOS II+ and MyDOS) and two versions of CMC player (original and modified by Jaskier/TQA). Original CMC player has sometimes problems with playing on STEREO upgraded machines. Still - you can try KLONY.ATR file on (un)modified Atari and see how it works.

www.atarimania.com Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I'm trying to figure out if there's any mouse support... I didn't find any screen for options and I can't decipher what the Polish article says exactly. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 only Commodore (not Amiga/ST) support due to lack of working procedure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Howdy Miker only Commodore (not Amiga/ST) support due to lack of working procedure Do you mean you don't know how the ST/Amiga mouse works? Look here and download MOUSE.ARC and MOUSEINT.ARC. Greetings Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Cool. Ataxx is one of my favorite games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) OK, Mathy - this game was written during ~3 months. Any other questions? Maybe in the next one (and maybe for ABBUC). Edited August 12, 2006 by miker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomSW Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hello folks, about the rules for ABBUC software contest 2006... they have already been published here !! ...and they suck!

urborg Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) ...and they suck! Do not expect any REAL production from Poland until you change these rules. As far as i know author create the game just for fun and that is the reason why he dindn't think about taking part in contest. Rules of the contest have nothing to do with that.
