PACS v1.1 introduction

Version Changements

• new features:
• pause function (press p)
• new game mode called 'full chaos'
• we added sound!! But we also give you a version withoud sound, because the sound version adds a lot of files. (we don't want your PC to be full of sound files)
• restructured window
• a few bug fixes
• We added a procedure GetNbrTurn():CARDINAL  to PACSInterface.def  that gives you the actual turn of the game
• see readme.txt for more detailed information

Version 1.04 changements (30/11/2000):

• changements to PACSInterface.def:
• We added NO_EL_VN to the enum ViewEn (this one can be handy sometimes, to indidate that there is no player or element)
• We added a game mode: refreshInterval, this is the speed of the GUI animation that you can adjust yourself!
• We made new behaviour procedures for the players: JJMoveInDir
• a little smarter than the stupid JJMoveRandom
• check the code (JJMoveInDir.def & .mod, there is documentation), you can learn from it
• try to beat us!!
• small changements...

Version 1.03 changements (23/11/2000):

• Again, we think that we solved all the remaining bugs in the engine and the interface...
• No further changements...

• We are happy to announce that the GUI works for XDS version 2.32!!
• The color managment 'should' now be more portable among different XDS versions.
• Warning : the colors still look strange on our Matrox Millenium II using XDS 2.45. Feedback is required to know if this color mismatch also occurs with other cards.
• All bugs are solved in the engine (we hope).
• PACSInterface.def changed a little bit (we hope for the last time).
• GetConf() procedure!!
• I added some usefull procedures: IsInArena, IsHome, ...
• new: ViewEn!!
• new: MAX_NBR_EL (max nbr of elements in the arena for 1 element type)

Version 1.01 changements:

• better animation.
• arena is now rectangular (rechthoek), with a Height for the # of rows and Width for the columns.
• more game mode parameters (check it out in the PACSEngine.def file).
• we fixed some bugs.
• you don't have to press ENTER anymore, only when you really want this.
• we added an error report: if PACS crashes, the PACS engine report where it crashed: in one of the behaviour procedures (up to you to fix it) or in the engine itself (we have to fix it).
• our random player JJRandomPl is a little bit smarter: he will not return back on his steps...
• there are still some bugs in the engine, sorry. But don't worry: the program doesn't crash (we hope).
