Introduction

Comments To This Alpha Version

• The sprite shading is terr. slow and the game startup may take up to twenty seconds!
• The game needs about 8 Mbyte free memory, otherwise OS/2 will swap. This will be a litle bit more in the final, but not much, because the main memory consumption (the map and visible zones) are already allocated. The sprites take only a fraction ;-)
• The radar can be used only if it is in the left top corner. A bug causes the game to crash if you move the radar to another corner and click onto it.
• Units dont walk were you expect them to walk. Press "S" to stop them or watch them running out of fuel.
• The level management is not ready yet. Only a dummy map (via training) is possible.
• Only the actual human player is shown in the list, computer players are invisible there.
• Computer players don't do any "thinking" yet.
• There is no sound.
• The part rendering the buttons doesnt take any mouseclicks.
• Scrolling the map with left mouse drag is not possible yet. (This is NOT implmented yet)
• The sprite stuff is not optimized and terrible slow.
• Minimizing the main window while DIVE blitting crashes the game.
• There are debug frames around all units and a little white horizontal line appears were you click (for debug only).
• You can't view any statistics (not implemented yet).
• Units dont shot. (Bug)
• There seems to be a small bug in the radar scrolling. It crashes the game sometimes. Perhaps multithreading problems...
• The different computer player colors look ugly :)
• You cant save or load games.
• The map & radar show you anything, not only what you should see with your visible zone. This is for debugging.
