JQuest Beta

Greetings, everyone!

I’ve just joined the forums and have a game that I’d like y’all to take a look at. It’s called JQuest and it’s a clone of the game Konquest for Linux. Right now it’s only in the beta stage, but I’d still appreciate it if some of you could download the game and play-test it. There’s at least one bug known already: when entering the number of ships to send to a planet, negative numbers are considered valid. This should be really easy to fix – it’s just a question of me having time to do so (been pretty busy lately). Also, the game architecture is going through a significant redesign right now, so I’ll keep y’all posted. Finally, the source code (such as it is!) is freely available for download, so feel free to take a look at it and give criticism.

Without further ado, here’s the link for the game: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/jquest. Thanks and I look forward to your feedback. :slight_smile:

Looks amusing.

An exception occured after trying to send too many ships, got the error box, then correcting it to a valid number of ships.

Have fun:

Ok, I played it a bit more.

A few things: the stats counter at the end doesn’t seem to keep track of the number of planets conquered (0 for all in a 1 human vs 7 puters games). Maybe improve the AI a tad? They all went for the same 3 planets.
