Off Forum: Midway code repair

[Suicide Junkie]

For those of you who don't want to mess with any programming language, Here is the Compiled Version

Hey, I did manage to Stomp four of five enemy carriers, and scare off the Last one.

If you write up a decent description for each of the options, I could squeeze that into the in-game help menu.

Well, this time I did much better (I think)
Midway was wiped out, but did not fall
3:1 kill ratio in planes, sunk all 5 enemy ships with the Yorktown as the only casualty (light damage to my other ships)

Apparently CAPs are defensive patrols, and help you survive

[geoschmo]

Yes, that much I do remember. CAPs are Combat Air Patrols, and they are absolutly necessary for your carriers to survive.

Sheesh SJ, a compiled Version? You are amazing. I suppose next you are going to rewrite it into a two player PBEM game?

The game would be a little unfair with human competition, wouldn't it?

What I might do is:
- colorize it. Make the water rippling blue, midway green, ships grey.
- Fix some of the sound effects (I can't hear the taking-off noises right now, just the dropping bombs)
- Move the combat results into a scrolling list on the right side of the screen.

I was just kidding really, but why do you say it would be unfair? Both sides are relativley equal at the start.

In fact there's way now to play the Japanese side against the computer controlling the US forces. I don't remember yet how to do it. Wish I still had my instruction book.

Thank you SJ. I look forward to playing this game yet again. Man, it has been so long, I hope I remember how.

Well, then. If its already in the code, it will stand a chance of happening. Not sure how the details of turns and time passage will work though.
