Hi Tom, Carl tried to convert our DOS games to windows without success. Our DOS Monopoly game is written in Borland C plus plus for DOS and we got a version of Borland C plus plus for windows but at that point Carl did not use Windows or a windows screen reading program. He was using DOS and VocalEyes, so he had to learn Windows, WindoEyes and the conventions of a not too accessible Borland interface, all at the same time. Monopoly was the first game he wrote using sounds and it was not a pretty code example. The image of a bowl of spaghetti comes to mind. As you landed on each property you got the specific sound of that property. And each token made a specific sound effect when moving. It would be nice to create a Windows based version that could import a property list with sounds for each one plus a list of chance and community chest cards that could also be edited. But with Jim Kitchen's game doing most of what this would do I could not sell it or spend a lot of time on the project. Like I said, a multi player on line version would be a good reason for doing it.
Smiles, Phil be----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 6:04 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly Here & Now Edition > Hmmm...
