After almost a half year of development I am now able to present the temporary result, Monopolize 1.0. It can be called a real Monopoly game for the computer now, and even the AIs need not hide. There are several innovations in comparison with Monopolize 0.90:
Innovations:
- The additional programs BoardEdit and CardStackEdit, with which you are able to design your own Monopoly game or to edit the current card stacks and boards.
- The introduction of ++ and -- buttons while trading or auctioning because they enable you to scroll through the numbers quickly.
- A UK board with the adequate card stacks.
- The bug with the intro video which caused a high CPU load is fixed. Also, I increased the compression of the video so that the download size of the game decreased to about 700 KB.
Monopolize can be downloaded here as a ZIP file. Additionally, you need the following absolutely trustable Microsoft programs:
I'm always thankful for bug reports. If you find a bug, it would be even better if you made a screen shot of it because that makes it easier for me to find the source of the bug.
Have fun with Monopolize!
