ReplyDeleteInteresting improvements. I'm fascinated by your dedition to improve the AI which seems to be shaping as one of the best. Please make the next release available to download to anybody. I couldn't download the first edition.
ReplyDeletededition = dedication. Sorry.
DeleteYou simply need a google account to download it I think, and it's also the case to post a comment here. Can you try again?
DeleteOf course I have a google account, but it asked me to send you a request before downloading the game. I did that more than once but nothing. However, today I can finally download it maybe because you've changed something in the settings.
DeleteNice have fun :-)
DeleteIt looks great! Dref, I have a question: does the game have a directory (with folders,etc)? I see that, after clicking the jar file, it launches the game. But I don't see any folder with icons, saves, etc. Is it all within that jar file?
DeleteYes everything is in the jar. Only a 'Save' folder should be created (next the jar) where you can save tournament - you cannot save during a game.
DeleteGot it. Amazing job by the way and I'm looking forward for the next release! ;)
DeleteAlso, I hope you'll make the "drefsante bot" available to download for the AIBowl too.
Again, thank you for everything you're doing, man.
