Pretty cool submission - seems it only needs minor tweaks (like updating score at the end of a round instead of the beginning of a new one). Missing a function to call to ("ClientJoinedOK") in the function "actionOK" - commented it out. Easily worthy of five planets.

Hey, This application doesnot work in a standalone machine having TCP/IP even After running it as a Client. I ran Three Instances of the application . First one as server.
2nd one as 1st Client.
3rd one tried as 2nd Client. But it says 'THERE IS NO SERVER RUNNING OR ANOTHER WINSOCK-ERROR OCCURED.
CONNECTION IS FORCEFULLY REJECTED'.
-?????????????

10/11/2002 8:35:01 AM: J. Sperlhofer
calm down .. why did you start 2 clients? Its just a 2-player game ^^. And it runs on one machine, belive me. btw: Ever tried to open 3 ports with just 1 Winsock-Control? hehe .. so "or a Winsock-Error occured" is more than the right answer :>

With VB5, I'm getting an error on a couple of things. ...Round(...) and
...Trim(Replace(...) -- it says: Sub or Function not defined.
Maybe this doesn't work with VB5.0?

one possible problem I found, played locally...havent tried internet yet, anyhoo, played for 4 'games' (not rounds) and after 4 wins for 'player 1' it said 'you - 4, player 2 - 4', its a bit confusing not knowing the diff between rounds and full games
5 for great idea, but I think it should also keep track of actual 'game' wins/losses

Found me a few bugs while playing for 15 mins
for an unknown reason his action (Shoot) was displayed as debug in the chat, and not executed it, so neither of us had buttons to click, and I saw data+[ip]+playername+norotate+010000+1data+[ip]+playername+10000+1 (we got stuck).
Also, The Start New Game button is multi-clickable if theres any network lag, suggest to make it disabled...I started a game 5 times before it actually 'started'.
might want to look into it
other than that, excellent game

10/22/2002 2:55:53 AM: Emperor Frollard
oops -
make it disabled *after its clicked*
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
10/22/2002 2:58:45 AM: Emperor Frollard
I just dont quit - it also ruins the effect of the waiting for the animation to play if your opponent dies or not, because the buttons can be clicked way faster than the animation can play, as well, it says 'and nothing happened' way before the animation 'clicks' to show no shot, recommended you delay the messages and enables of the buttons...
once again excellent game - just lookin out to make it excellenter

10/22/2002 3:30:01 AM: Emperor Frollard
BUT WAIT!!!
DEYers MOAH!
hehehe
uh, if the client quits, and you send a chat message from the server afterwards, it errors you out of the program with a 'wrong connection state' runtime error.

10/22/2002 3:31:50 AM: Emperor Frollard
EGAD he just wont leave it alone :D
it just occurred to me, if you're 'waiting for opponent', why is your opponent sitting there in the animation? hehehe

Great game i really loved it, i have spent some time working on it , and it is really one of the best games i have seen on Planet Source Code, since the game uses so much time to make and the flash is great kinda bad how its missing the .fla (Flash files) i really wanted to add some people in the game, eg people watching etc, would really go good with it, if someone wants to get the graphics and stuff u can open the .swf file in MSF and get the images but still u cant edit or addon to the game which would be great if u still had it i gave it 5/5 it really rocket my socks and i hope to see more from you in the futue
