Re: Monopoly
It's looking grand. Watching the screenshots is slightly odd to an Englishman, though; would you consider the possibility of different boards for different regions?

Re: Monopoly
Of course, it's just a matter of changing the property texts/a couple chance cards, and all that information is available online. Wikipedia has the boards for a large number of languages I've always planned at least US/UK versions, but i think a French (well, a French version and Quebecois version, maybe even a Belgian version), Spanish, and German version could be possible, too, though it'd require a slight adjustment to the text-routine for the accents.
Thanks, btw
Thanks, btw

Re: Monopoly
benryves, how's this look? I was in the middle of debugging the properties menu (viewing owned property, buying houses/hotels, etc.) so that's why everything is owned by player one. I haven't finished entering all the properties yet (just half the board), but just to make sure, i'm using this board as a reference:

Is it the same one you're used to?
EDIT: Oh, and currently the player pieces are selected randomly (and the limit to the number of possible players is only limited by the saferam i've got left, i think 8 would be a good maximum just in case you wanted a lot of computer players or something), so that's why there are two ships.

Re: Monopoly
Thanks, that looks great. "Luxury Tax" is replaced by "Super Tax" and we use £ rather than $, but I don't know how easy those would be to change.

Re: Monopoly
That's also not a big problem, it's just a matter of changing the sprites It now compiles two different versions, a US and a UK one. I guess i could try adding support for external boards, but i'm not sure if it'd really be worth it.

Re: Monopoly
I just finished typing up the rest of the properties and changed the LUXury TAX to SUPer TAX and drew a somewhat legible pound character (suggestions welcome!). Here's a screenshot, at the start you can see the Super Tax tile (a rather boring tile), then the pound character in the stats screen, and finally a little sample of what i've been doing with the menu routine (a huge overhaul), which now supports textboxes of any size
UPDATE: Whoops, looks like there's a bug somewhere drawing the drooping letters (g, j, p, q, and y), it looks like i'm erasing over that line. Piccadilly looks like Piccadillu

Re: Monopoly
The pound sign looks perfect to me. Keep up the great work!
Re: Monopoly
I decided to visit the forum after remembering this community that I was so fond of almost EIGHT years ago (I think it may have been even longer, almost 10?!)
Seeing your screenshots gave me a huge hit of nostalgia. Keep up the good work!

Re: Monopoly
Thanks, both of you! Also, glad to see you around ISUCK The same thing happened to me (the nostalgia), hence the rewrite of Monopoly! Though things here have certainly slowed down quite a bit lately, but like you people check in from time to time and it's always nice to refind old friends/acquaintances
