Universal Wargaming Platform

99 bugs in the code, 99 bugs... you fix it up, patch it up.... 1067 bugs in the code...

I dont have bugs, I have errors To be honest they were critters in the code I went into a tail spin trying to get to a good version, I put a delete chit function in that deleted chits on a certain event, but the event happened more than I realised so i go deleted chits . not bugs but rats !

Finding coders always seems to be the issue.

If Map Scrolling is only by the Keyboard Arrows, can you make it so that when the Mouse hits the edge of the screen that the Map will Scroll?

You right click and drag map, it tells you in the little message box when you start.

I cant add maps because of copyrite, but you can add 3 and set Move costs per hex, the base move cost of 2 is set to all hexes so that rail can be set to 1, you can set all coastal locations to 5 to simulate boarding and disembarking, planes dont suffer move costs.

I have made a generator to group commands and set difereent thing to correct setting like men on planes would be small, etc... you can then edit units to set more detail, like fighters with shots, and bombers with missiles

The idea of a universal platform sounds very interesting.

For example, there could be something like the Godot/O3DE game engine, which is specialized in the development of wargames / strategy games.

But the question is how universal such a platform should look like:

Do you have to be able to develop all kinds of wargames with it (3D - Combat Mission, Classic wargames, Grand Strategy)?
Is it really approciate to do something new instead of using Godot?

The other extreme approach would be a free "John Tiller Games" engine. But then you would be on one
certain type of games would be restricted and the target audience would be very small. Which could make building an active community very difficult.

In my opinion, however, the following points must be given:

* The platform must be open source

* It must be licensed under an open source license that is as free as possible (e.g. Apache 2.0)

* It must be developed with a programming language that is as widespread and freely available as possible.

* The platform must be easy to use and expandable.

ok made a second universal game engine, its diferrent, so may interest you for a bit, it has a limited move system, inf on foot, cav move two but unlimited on road, set each units strength when laying chits, it has a tile system to create maps, and design your chits, with a full chit art set you can use the random game generators, the chit number dictates how the A.I. controls it, and what units hunts it ,i hope you guys like this one as the last one nobody did any mods for

sorry thought there was no interest.


A Hard core turn based wargame, its hex based and allows you to setup your own game and maps, and unit strengths, its simple so to be more universal. it has a random game generator BUT you need to make sure the 100 unit chits have images or you will get blanks. the A.I. works by taking the chit number so chit 1 to 5 are skirmishers and will hunt other skirmishers etc... there are chit numbers that hunt any unit, this allows you to control the A.I. easily.
