Four-in-a-row (FlashPascal program)

[Roland Chastain]

Hello gentlemen !

I would like to present my "Four-in-a-row" game, made with Flash Pascal 2. If someone doesn't know it, FlashPascal is an editor and compiler which produces Flash movies from Pascal language.

You can only play "white", while computer always plays "black".

Here is a link to my web site where you can play the game and download source files.

I have not yet had time to make an english version, but the game is very simple and easy to use.

"A vous l'honneur !" means something like "Your move ?"

very nice game, but the AI needs a bit more variation to make it more interesting.

Nice job. Have you tried letting the computer AI play it's self? Fun experiments like that are great for exploring new game ideas and learning how to do the next cool thing in your games.

Great first stepping stone. What are your next project ideas?

Nice to finally see a game made with FlashPascal. I hope to see more games made with it soon. If I am not mistaken, there is also an open source version of FlashPascal on SF.net.

[Roland Chastain]

Thank you for the answers.

FlashPascal has powerful graphical functions, so it is certainly possible to make a nicer interface.
Regarding the algorithm, it's an interesting idea to introduce variations.
I have not yet tested computer versus computer game. I will try it.

@CyberMonkey

Yes, that's right. The main difference is that FlashPascal 2 has an editor, while the first version uses command-line compilation.

Here is another game made with FlashPascal :

OK I see. I hoped to see a game with (animated) sprites or so...

EDIT: Erm, maybe I found a bug, just look at the attached image. Always clicking on the same row gives a "draw" although blue wins...

@CyberMonkey

Thank you for the bug report. It is corrected.

if cells[cx, 0].state <> 0 then exit;

The file to download has been replaced.


@paul_nicholls

Thank you for your attention.

Hello gentlemen !

I have rewritten my Four-in-a-row. The internal functions are new. The interface is almost the same, except that there are checkboxes to select the game mode.

If ever you wish to compile the source code, you have to dowload separately the small library I used for checkboxes.

Best regards.

any way to increase the difficulty?=)

Hey nice work! I like the nice sleek clean look to your screenshots.

Any interest in the current PGD Challenge?

A lot of game developers from all skill levels really enjoy taking part and it doesn't even have to be overly complex either. Though many do try.

Keep making games.
