1 minor point after a game is won, you have to quit to play another game.

Could anyone with a spare five minutes download Islands from lym.iconbar.com please? I'd like some feedback before I try and finish it off. In particular:

- Does it work? Any bugs?

- How's the sound (I can't test this, as my A9 has no sound atm!)

- How's the computer player?

- Is the interface reasonably intuitive?

No help written yet, so use at own risk (ha!). Interested in any feedback. If people like it, I'll try and tidy up all remaining bits and pieces, and work on the level editor some more.

Works fine on my Iyonix, however, when a sound effect is played, it stops DigitalCD playing an MP3 at the same time. The MP3 resumes after the sound effect.

I have no idea what the cards do. Once it told me I had to cash them. I've never been able to do anything with them other than highlight them appart from when it said I had to cash them, when I was able to cash them.

Also the Consolidate feature didn't work. Or at least, I couldn't use it to move armies between adjacent regions, which is what I expected it to do. I can move armies after an attack.

The cards should work as they do in Risk. Right at the start of your go, before deploying, open the cards window by clicking on the cards icon in the toolbar or from the menu item. If you have three cards all of the same type, or one of each, you can select these three. Clicking CASH will add a bonus to the armies you get at the beginning of your turn. I can't recall exactly how much the bonus is for each combination, but one of each is the best.

Also the Consolidate feature didn't work. Or at least, I couldn't use it to move armies between adjacent regions, which is what I expected it to do. I can move armies after an attack.

Consolidate should work only once, and only after your attacks are over. You should be able to select a region which you own, then select a destination region which you also own to consolidate to. Click on the + and - buttons to move armies back and forth as you do when attacking. Does this work?

Sometimes. I've had it work once or twice, but normally it doesn't work. I click on Consolidate, select a source region and it does not let me set a destination.

Five minutes! It took me less than a second to download!

These obeservations are based on the original V1.00 download, so if you've already fixed them then apologies in advance.

If you use Nested wimp features (as you do) - you should pass 380 to Wimp_Initialise not 370

In the world map you can't attack from Ukraine into Middle East.
You also can't attack from Yakutsk into Kamchatka.
You can't attack from Middle East into East Africa.
You can't attack from East Africa into South Africa.
You can attack from Western Europe into Egypt, you shouldn't be able to
Similarly in RISK you cam't attack/move from Eastern Australia into Indonesia.

After conquering a teritory you still get the 'Move armies...' stage even if there are no extra armies left to move.
When a player is defeated, they keep their cards. In RISK the last player to beat them get's given them.
It's only possible to end a turn from the Menu, perhaps it should be on the toolbar also.
Perhaps there should be 'all +' and 'all -' buttons, to speed up conquest/moves.
You can't put more than 99 armies on a single territory.

In the Choices... window it's possible for the greying out of the players name to get out of sync with the tick box to it's left.
This is illustrated in this image at http://ivandobski.drobe.co.uk/temp/
then download sprbug.zip (Sorry no deep linking to drobe allowed).
Then look at player five.

Overall I enjoyed playing this game much more than the other RISK clones available for RISC OS.

The latest version seems to fix the bugs.

I do however have a few more suggestions on the latest version.
I've seen the computer player transfering MY armies into one of his own territories!

Pressing Return in the Choices box produces... 'No such function/procedure at 13694
The Cancel button is a bit too close to the Start buttton.

It's easy to forget to cash cards during the initial phase (well for me anyway), perhaps this should be allowed up until the first attack is made.

The default number of armies in the World map is a bit low. You only get three armies to place + the 3 on your first go. So most of the map is just territories with a single army on.

The latest version seems to fix the bugs.

Outrageous! I shall stamp on that at once. Was it in the in the deployment, attack or consolidation phase?

BTW, are the computer players a bit better? That's been the focus of my efforts recently.

Version 1.1 uploaded this afternoon. Hopefully no more sneaky consolidation, and a couple of other niggles sorted.

I've noticed however that when the program puts up a 'You must cash cards now' window, it's possible to just click on territories using up the allocation of armies - and when the last one is used you don't have to cash any cards. Then you can get a sixth card and things get strange.

I'd also like to suggest that in the choices window instead of having a total number of armies, perhaps you could have an 'average armies per territory' this would scale better when the number of players is altered.
