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....

Changelog

V1.1

  • 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.
