Description

One of my favourite childhood game is now available in PC Windows version. I started this project in August 2003 as a hobby and complete it after stop for a long time. It is a simple game made in VB6 using basic conntrols like Image, Picturebox, Shape, Timer, Frame, Option button and command button only. I also use Module for Read/Write text file and AI function. I try to make some simple AI and I hope I can improve the AI to become smarter in the future. This game is not using DirectX or bitblt. I used some GIF images for the planes. Actually I have been long time not playing this game and forgot about Rules of the game. So I make it Roll the die only once eventhough you have six. Your plane jumps if you stop at a Path which is same colour as yours. If the Path occupied by other plane, you can kick it but if it occupied by more than 1 opponent's plane, then your plane will be kicked! I include 2 WAV sounds. You 'll hear "Oh Ou" ICQ sound when a plane is kicked. There are 3 mode; One player, 4 human players and 4 AI Simulation mode. You can set custom name for each player or use Colour. You can set default colour to start game or set as Random. You can Load/Save your game too. Click Start game and click with your Mouse pointer. Press 'Esc' to show/hide menu. I made this game view at minimum 800x600 screen resolution and center when you maximized the form. Please Vote if you like it. Send me feedback so I can improve the game in future.
