- 1. How to establish a networked game.
-
- This is a _very_ simple process to connect to a friends computer. The first
- thing you will need to do is obtain your friend's IP address OR computer name.
- After this, have both people start up CWAN and and the person planning on
- being the red checkers (actually grey) does the following while the person
- that plans on being black sits back and waits...
-
- A) After CWAN is started, Right-Click in the window, and a dialog box
- will appear asking for the user's IP or computer's address.
- B) Enter the address to where you are going to connect to, hit OK.
- C) Wait until the connection is established, the user that will be black
- (is being connected to) will be prompted to allow you to start a game,
- once he/she chooses YES, the game is on.
-
- There is also another way to start the game. In the Run dialog box or in a
- dos shell, you can add the -h paramiter along with an ip to connect to.
-
- CWAN.EXE -h 129.37.253.229
-
- Will start a game and automatically connect to the address.
-
- 2. Rules of play
-
- All rules of regular checkers apply, all except the action of double jumps.
- These are not implemented.
-
- 3. Checker Peices
- I have released this new version with better graphics and supplied .bmp files.
- The files are loaded into CWAN and are displayed on the screen. I included
- them so people out there could make their own boards and checker peices.
- Here are the stats of the files:
-
- board.bmp:
- A 320x320 pixels wide board. Two colors for squares, and each square
- 40x40 pixels.
-
- cover.bmp:
- A 40x40 picture. Empty and contains the top left square of the board.
-
- red.bmp:
- A 40x40 picture. Contains the checker that will be placed on top. You need
- to have the background of the played square behind it. Look at the current
- red.bmp to understand.
-
- black.bmp:
- Same as above, but for the other color.
-
- rking.bmp:
- A 40x40 file to represent a king of the top checkers. Also needed a back
- on these.
-
- bking.bmp:
- Same as above, except for the bottom checkers.
-
- !!!!DO NOT MESS WITH THEM IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!
-
- 4. Troubleshooting
-
- If a game does not work right between two people: make sure both of you
- have the same version.
