No home page yet,
but the source will be available and any help on the game will be welcomed
The game will run only on XP.

Why that? :?
My gamedesign blawg!
<remaxim>well, it is called freegamedev... means you develop games for other people for free xD

.Net/Mono is a rabid beast cursed with M$-specific limitations and sh*t. XNA isn't much better. Remember that, kids.

Hey skobin, welcome!

I find it exciting that you are experimenting with self-teaching AI in a game.

I do not want to annoy you, but being open source is the basis requirement for games being introduced here. May I ask you to soon upload your code to http://code.google.com/hosting/createProject or https://github.com/signup/free or some other open source project hosting service?

Do you have experience with non-windows operating systems? Can you estimate how much work it would take to port the game to cross-platform libraries (SDL comes to my mind).

I will publish the code and ship editing tools as soon as it is clear of major bugs.
The game is written in borland pascal so porting it will be to rewrite it, a thing I intend to do.
I dont know what platform is the best and an I will like advice on thet matter.

You plan to rewrite the game but first want to clear the current version of bugs? Sounds like a homework! :)
If you're content with using Pascal, I would recommend to port it to FreePascal. If you prefer using another language: PyGame, Pyglet and LÖVE are the scripting-language weapons of choice.

You should also make a quick zip of the source and upload it. Just in case you won`t feel like cleaning up the source tomorrow! :)

As I got "homework"in other subjects I don't have the time to clean it now,
so I uploaded the code as it is.

Is there no chance that this might run on FreePascal?

Thanks :)

Sauer2: don't you feel like taking a look? If I remember correctly, you played with FreePascal in the past? ;)
