Todd, Will VirMin have some sort of API a person could program custom stuff to? Perhaps vbscript, or exposed com objects (or Java, or whatever :) AD :{)}...
... It's not part of the original spec. The scene loading script is pretty flexible as is. Dark Basic Pro (the language being used for this project) is...
That's good information, thanks for putting it together. I guess what I was really asking was how do you get the rules of the game in there? IOW, how does it...
... Right now VirMin and TCOM2 (the computer game) are the same program, at some point they will split up as VirMin deals more with gaming in general. Both of...
... Ah! VirMin is the 3D sequal to V_MAP, a 2D virtual map and counters gaming aid that I wrote. Both of them are rules agnostic for the most part. The best...

... Yes, it was limited intelligence. Both interstellar sensors and propulsion was by psionics. One knew that a concentration of enemy units existed, but...
Space Empires IV Gold uses a brute force approach to this. When you select strategic combat, it just plays out a tactical battle, with the AI running both...
I'm surprised it worked as well as it did. I can't think of two groups of wargamers that would have less in common than Diplomacy and Warhammer players....
... In a three-way game, the degree of uncertainty of a starforce's destination due to not knowing its Z coordinate can become very high - and consequently the...
... Let us know when you finish it. I'd for one would like a copy. I did try making a StarForce map based on the Gliese star catalog data. I only found two...

While we are on the topic of StarForce, I don't suppose anybody has a copy of issue 21 of MOVES magazine that they'd be willing to photocopy the StarForce...
