Castle of the Winds remake

Date: Sep 17, 2004

Yes, that Idea was around two and a Half years ago when I first found the site. I thought by now they'd have somthing. At any rate the thought of having a higher dongen level (100 or so) and more monsters. I guess there's no bored programers
on the site.

Yeah if I was a programmer I would make a huge Castle of the Winds game with a lot of stuff, but alas I'm not.

I only know how to program in pascal and that's just using Turbo Pascal which just creates dos programs....

I'm a bored programer and would attempt it if people gave me motivation.

Er, that was me, I am willing to do it, but I would need lots of the following

-Time (I know absoulty nothing because I used to program in early versions of VB aka Qbasic 4.5.)
-A good awesome story (A good story keeps the game ALIVE which requires time.)
-Some Source codes (Any game that has an intresting source code.)
-Music/sound (Would be interesting.)
-Motivation (I'm a young programer with too much homework.)
-A diffent Name for this game (If I don't i'll probly get sued and I don't want that.)
-Better undersatning of VB4.0pro or VB6
-Ect

I'm interested in doing this, I have a list of things I want to add as well

-More money values (Ruby's and dimonds would be cool)
-Weapons and Spells.
-Monsters and bosses.
-Cool Graphics (Simple to do that.)
-Muitiplayer? (I might consider that somehow.)
-7 diffent Playing worlds (Maybe not 7 i'm not sure.)
-New ways to get $$$ (Casion possibly)
-Battle Challanges (You go into a room and fight off as many enemies as you can and when you die you get paid so much money and stuff)
-ect

Any Ideas?

The game could be called Tales from the Past, Fantasy Castle, Wind Cavaren, Stone Castle, Time Stopper, Rune of Return, Nostalgia, etc. I could think up a story if you ever decide, but the best would be to have input from everybody about the story.

there's 2 problems

1. the random room thing

2.I now have no time to do this seeing as I owe someone a favor, so this will have to wait. sorry.

Well, I just starting on creating Windows Applications, but right now my main focus is to figure out the savegame file for CotW, then I will start learning more about Windows Applications.

1. Well, first off, I have a few guesses to make. The number of rooms is random, how they look: square, etc... is also random, where there are placed are also random, the pathways between them are random, traps, monsters, and items are also random. I'm guessing using " ( " or " ) " [re-randomizes the floors you go to] to go up/down instead of " < " or " > " was how they tested it. Whether doors were "secret" or not were most likely also random. I can go on if I want, but I'll cut down on this post.

2. Take your time....but, I'm sure we can wait....I think.....

I got Time now,

So far here's what I got started

- Directx 8 Support (This is Requried)
- Good Looking 32Bit Graphics
- So far runs Smoothly on WinXP, I have not tested this for Win98 or 95, But I will Try to test it on as many platforms possible
- Working on the sounds.

To chammer39
If your still around (Hopefully you are) if you can write the story that would be nice

and I think Stone Castle, Time Stopper would be good.

I'll test it on win2000 if you wish. E-mail me at dasaalikz@gmail.com

Good thing I checked this today. I will need sometime to come up with a story, but it can be discussed over on My Forums that have been more active. They have slowed, but I hope people will start coming around once I post this information.
