Hey! I loved those card games when I played them long, long time ago. I remember they featured car models. I loved those old, early 20th century cars beating new for fuel consumption.

Anyway, I'm happy you are progressing with this project. The only feature I'm missing is the number of cards in each stack. Now I can't follow the round. I don't know if I'm loosing or winning. BTW, what are those pretty-boy faces in the card set? Finley? I don't mind the lady in the bikini.

Keep up the good work.

You shouldn’t have much problems implementing network mode for this game. I mean, I can’t help you, but regarding the speed and such, it shouldn’t give you much troubles as this is a turn-based game. Try asking Dr_D (irc.freenode.net - #freebasic channel) for help. He is developing some network game.

I'm quite sure there is more babes wrestling. Add them, but none should be able to beat hulk.

[nkk_kan]

yeah there are loads of babes (divas?  )  wrestling.. i'll probably add them. =]
and about that finley guy....i never saw him fight on TV either...lol...
Actually,the wrestler data was provided by the compo committee(in which we had to make this game but due to some reasons and my insufficient knowledge i couldn't complete it)...and it will be updated and revised in next version.

as far as i know, there are about hundred or something wrestlers..i'll try to add all of them.

i used to play same card game featuring cricketers too =]
No of cards is already added...i got the idea after i posted this one and done it =]....so,you'll have to wait for next version
By the way, regarding the Network game....i'm still not sure whether i should implement it or not...would it be a good idea? i was going to make it like a chat + game thing like in that connect4 made my wisdomdude and marcade(?)...
anyways thanks for the Feed back

and actually finley was fit finlay..they must have misspelt it..
i got the pics of new wrestlers but the problem is getting the data...i can't find the data anywhere..
i only got height and weight....i'll try to find my old trumps...but i don't think i've still got them..

I apologize if I sound presumptions, but I want to warn you to double-check your code for the next version. I want you to be sure you are detracting and adding cards to players' stacks, weather one player wins a hand or loses it, having in mind the problems you had with initial randomization.

I recommend printing all the cards for both players on the screen when testing the game, displaying cards' ranks.

Then you would see if the cards are added and detracted properly, as well as rotated.

For example, imagine a complete stack of 10 cards, and each player starting with 5 cards.

Player one could start with:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1
2
5
6
8

Imagine the second player starting with card rank 3, and if you would win this hand with rank 8, in the next hand your stack should look like this:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

3
8
1
2
5
6

You will know that you are doing this properly only if you implement code for debugging purposes I already mentioned.

Another thing. Thought about adding some animation when the main menu loop starts? For example, how about the logo and the title scrolling toward the center of the screen until centering. You would start with this:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

Xpos1 = - 180
Xpos2 = 180

And in the loop you would have this:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

Put (80+Xpos1,30),logo,trans
printfont 210+Xpos2,40,"ROYAL" ,font(2),1,1
printfont 210+Xpos2,80,"RUMBLE",font(2),1,1

IF Xpos1 < 0 THEN Xpos1 = Xpos1 + 5
IF Xpos2 > 0 THEN Xpos2 = Xpos2 - 5

Experiment a bit.

BTW, if you want to implement sounds and music I recommend my tutorial: http://lachie.phatcode.net/Downloads/UsingFMOD_A_Tutorial.zip

As for network play, I wanted to point you to attacke's oop class of eNet, but I see you found it already.

   

[nkk_kan]

yeah..that's what i did for debugging 
i printed out the wrestler names...

good idea about scrolling...i was going to implement scrolling in the gameplay but then i thought it would ruin the gameplay (waiting till the cards scroll in can be annoying...)..
I think i'll animate the title screen. Thanks for the tip.

and yeah i've alreay got that FMOD tutorial you wrote ..(i've got the whole lot )
i'll add some music and sounds probably..

right now, i've been bit busy (exams) and so there is no progress but i'll soon resume it.
Thanks for the tips.
