Title: Smoke and Mirrors Strategy Game
Post by: Qwerkey on July 15, 2018, 05:43:04 am: In this game you play as Marie Antoinette with your mission to rescue Louis XVI. This is a game of strategy / puzzle solving.

You will need the User Manual to download all the necessary files.

The User Manual contains 1 walk-trough video in case you cannot work out what to do, though I would recommend not to view it. Some of the solutions are (I think) rather fiendish: if anybody would like additional walk-throughs, I could add as necessary.

This game is a GL version of one I already did in SDL in 2015 (posted in [abandoned, outdated and now likely malicious qb64 dot net website - don’t go there]). As far as I know, nobody actually successfully completed the game then, so I'd be interested if anybody can do this.

Not only do you have a maximum of one minute to edit your own code, but as a bonus, you have to add a large source code as ZIP, or it turns out as it turns out here, and as I have already writed Odin several times. Insertion of source codes maybe has also been misused in the past. Everyone explains it differently. :-D

If I know Marie Antoinette, she would stop at every mirror and admire herself for an hour or so, no rescue of any number of Louis would be forthcoming.

Post by: Qwerkey on July 15, 2018, 09:49:18 am: Oh, I didn't know that there was a limit to the size of source code, as Petr points out. I have always (on that other site) liked to add the code whether it is included in an attachment or not. I shall have to get used to the methods here.

Welcome Qwerkey

bplus, thank you for your welcome, and I look forward to meeting the other members of your clan. I stand in awe of your sister aplus, but offer platitudinous condescension to your cousin eminus.

Post by: bplus on July 16, 2018, 09:22:05 am: Ha! it may be awhile before we see eminus again, he went into a coma trying to figure out what platitudinous condescension was.

(I confess scratching my head on that too.)
