Hi Peace,
normalerweise geht ja im Netz nix verloren. Allerdings kann ich beim besten Willen keine alternative Downloadmöglichkeit für WinLZH finden.
Ich hab hier noch einige mods, die XPK gepackt sind und bräuchte dein Tool dringend.
Könntest du es hier wieder zur Verfügung stellen?

THX und LG

Hallo GeZorTenPlotZ,

Download: WinLZH

Wie gesagt, es könnte zu einem Fehlalarm einiger Virentools führen!

Alternativ (und besser) enpackt der OpenMPT ebenfalls XPK uvm. gepackte Module 😉

Grüße (und Danke für Deinen Kommentar)

Ich hoffe, dass auch die Musik mal irgendwann wieder kommt. Das Album Prophecy fand ich nicht schlecht.

Hi Peace, how can i contact you via email, i need some info about one of your old games, paragon.
I can’t find any contact on this site
Peace 16:41 am 11. Januar 2019

@marcopar: sorry, but no private contact anymore! If you have questions you can post it here, I will gladly try to answer it promptly.

Ok, i think i wrote you in private many many years ago with an idea of rewriting Paragon…but i lost that email long ago.
Anyway…. that idea remained an idea until now where i found time and motivation again.

So the question is: do you have anything againts this?
My plan is to get a decent version to be published (for free, no ads) on the Android market.

Meanwhile here you can see a working, and very rough, HTML5 prototype thet gets updated whenever i push the code to the sever:
https://www.defold.com/community/projects/131437/

Finally, i need some guidance in understanding how the AI works (main reason for asking for a private contact actually) as i understand most of the BASIC/AMOS code but it’s not entirely clear 🙂

@marcopar: Something first, please do not use my real name, use Peace or Testaware or both or none of that all.

So the question is: do you have anything againts this?

No, of course I have nothing against it, I’m even happy!

The AI is actually pretty simple:

The AI checks first the player’s stones, if there are 3 stones in the arrangement of the pattern and are the 2 missing fields unoccupied, occupied the AI one of the free fields. After a turn, the entire playing field is always analyzed and a stone is placed where the opponent needs the fewest stones to create his pattern!

Otherwise, the AI tries to create its own pattern, in this case, a corresponding free field is determined via a random number generator to make it more difficult for the opponent to detect a pattern prematurely.

The strength of AI is generated as follows:

Strength = 0 to 100

n = random (100, strength) corresponds to a value of at least the strength

n <= 10 : Weak, 90% randomly set the stones
n <= 20 : Easy, 80% randomly set the stones
,
,
n <= 90 : Strong, AI prevents enemy patterning on 3 matching pieces
n <= 100 : Aggressive, AI prevents pattern formation with 2 matching stones

Hope that I still remember correctly and could help you a little, after all, it is only 30! years ago 😉

PS: yes, I remember your email, but my e-address then is deleted.

@Peace: Name removed, sorry, i felt free to use it since it was in the BASIC source files and, searching on the internet about Testaware, i found it scattered all over the place 🙂
Thanks for the guidelines, i’ll keep you posted on the progress.

Hi Peace. Was amBOS @v 1-2 ever on OS 1.3? I’m looking for a dir util with HexEdit button that I used in the ’80’s.It was on a compilation disk. Cheers.

  @Richard: AmBOS runs on all Amiga OS but can only display files in hex (not edit).

Hi Peace,
some decent progress has been made finally…

  @marcopar: Really, I am pleased that you implemented the Paragon gameplay so impressively! Damn, I lost 9 out of 10 games against the AI… but well, I’m not getting any younger either 😉

Hey Peace,

Rebell hier 🙂 — nach über 14 Jahren wirds Zeit das alte Forum zu schließen.
Wenn deine ARCOR.DE Email noch stimmt werde ich dich mal anschreiben.
Wie ich sehe, bist du ja noch am Basteln – gut so – mach weiter!

CYA – bis denne 😀
