Connect4 1.1
Update(23-07-03)
- 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.

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....
