Possible Additions: (and yuras comments)
should let u use contry names in the console
If the task, you have to fulfill, is coincidentally solved by another pl
ayer, then you had luck and nevertheless won
would be nice if the player knows how many cards the enemies have!
add gpl info to about box and all the java files
add command line options like "Risk.jar -server" or "Risk.jar test.save"
make a map file a zip of jar file that holds all the map images and stuf
f
make choosemap and choosecards drop down menus in GUIs
Add network commands to help in commands section and add "info" command
Help should use css
"Attack untill defeated" option,
untill you've won;
untill "n" armies left;
untill you only have "n" more armies than the defender;
making a just-defeated country the default attacker for the next attack.
dice roll and attack/defense statistics.
Easter egg - cheat for good dice
Easter egg - when u select sertain names - things happen
Easter egg - funny cards - NO TRADE CARD
3D circles on map
the undo button should be disabled at the start of the players go i.e. w
hen there is nothing to undo..?
- put in a pause finction
- if u win u get a sad message of game over, and the results message it
crap
3D map - inovation (maybe)
-fast AI, fast dice
make the highlight fade in and out
make it not case sensitive in the console
Add Stats to the text console
Yura - add a history command (if i just have way too much time)
"New player selected: ELMEEEEEEEEER3. You have +number_of_cards+ cards,
you must trade until you possess under 5 cards"
^ somehow show trade cap and when u MUST trade
Rolled dice... 1 armies defeated, 1 armies lost. 13 armies remain on +de
fendercountry 23 armies available +attackercountry+ for attack
ADD SAVE GAME IN GAME SETUP, but \/
GAME BUG - save game during game setup couses all kinds of problems when
loading with the map images and players
GAME ENGINE ADDITIONS
Same time Risk - inovation (maybe)
-distribute extra units option - not really needed, but other risk has i
t
Naeem - in 2 player mode let the player put 2 armies down at a time
-let the first player not be random
-let the number of troops for a cards trade not increase or be fixed or
be none
-let u NOT get the captured cards
-do not limmmit supply lines/no supply lines
-support missions were u need to conquer and hold countries
-optimise defending dice by not throwing many if the attacker has all 6
-wait untill next go to win mission risk
put in some sort of campagn system where u get through diferent maps wit
h diferent set up problems that get harder and harder.
nutral player gets reinforcments
a option that will restrict you from rolling 2 dice if you have only 2 a
rmies in that country (you must have 3 or moew to roll 2 when defending)
i saw that in some risk rules you get reinforcements as seen on your car
d (e.g. for 3 artillery you get 3 artillery units)
NOT GOING TO DO OR NOT UNDER MY CONTROLL:
This is a resurved file name in windows, so u can not save a file
- in any GUI when u save with the file name "con" it does not save, if text file
is being saved, then in prints to the console
full screen mode
- dont want to make it full screen as it is annoying
?DONT CARE 1.0.7.0 - MAP BUG - You can find out other peoples risk cards
by looking at the Risk card ownership view during there go
?I will not support java 1.3 any more as it does not support the new jar
files - GUI BUG - make the image loading work in java 1.3
?FIXED in java 1.4 but still in java 1.5 - sometimes the image goes wron
g when dialog boxes are opened (e.g on my laptop) - can anyone find other better
ways of putting a gif into a program
put some sort of basic chat into the network play - not needed as game i
s not full screen and u can use GAIM ...
WE DID NOT CONFIRM THIS IN THE RULE BOOK
- Adrian - card trading - the rules say that a player can trade cards if the pla
yer still has armies to place at the start of the turn.
MAYBE IF HE PUT THAT COUNTRY FIRST IN THE LIST OF CARDS TO TRADE
- let the player choose what country he gets the extra armies on when he trades
cards
the gui will remember this
- After all countries are taken, there should be a command to view what countrie
s the player owns (i'm assuming gui will show it though) since autoplace doesn't
seem to work, i think its trying to place armys onto all 42 countries, and not
randomly placing armys on what countrys the player owns.
use same names as in mapfile (worldmap.txt) or use the numbers
- Consider using shortened country names or how they show exactly on the map (Or
show valid country names in help)
