Programming

Here we have my dabblings in Win32 programming on the PC.

First, some tools to get you started:
- NoteTab: A superb text editor, completely replaces the awful Notepad
- Borland C/C++ Compiler: A free command-line version of Borland's latest 32-bit C/C++ compiler
- Borland Turbo Debugger: A free 32-bit debugger from Borland
- Pharo's Setup Page: A page that explains exactly how to get up and running with the Borland Tools
- LCC-Win32: A free C IDE (editor, compiler, debugger, etc) based on lcc

Once you're all set up, you can cause real damage... :)


Anyway, here's what I've done that's fit for public consumption:

Conquest 1.2.0 - A Win32 console (ASCII text) port of the original 4X Galactic Domination game. That's eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate for the non-strategy gamers out there! This game is licensed under the BSD license , meaning you can basically do what you like with it providing you keep the license intact, except use my name without permission.
Here's the readme and the manual.
Here's the game as a zip file (56k), and as a self-extracting archive (93k).
If you want the C source too, here's the complete package: zip (95k) or self-extractor (133k).
The zip is also available from simtel.net.

I originally ported this from the Amiga 1.2.1 version by Lars Clausen, which you can get here.




Let me know what you think of this stuff. (Constructive criticism welcome, flames ignored..!)
