Here's a quick look at the interface for a code-only C$ game.

1) There must be some method to tell you code if it's going first or second.

I can see a few soloutions:

1 on board UI. run prg slot 1 or 2 depending on who goes first.  for OTHER os's
then you can have an ON BOARD UI, press view, or prg. to start.

2. beam a "message" to each brick.  1 or 2.

3. put a touch sensor on each brick, and use it to comunicate to the prg.



2) When it's your turn, calculate a move, then send an IR message which
indicates the column number (1-7) of the move.



recomend that you use the "lego protocal" IR stuff, other wise your dealing with
strange PBForth stuff.

(hi ralph)

3) Wait for a confirmation message (this step allows for better UI on the RCX)

or you can skip this step and just go straight to step 4

4) Wait for opponent move (via IR, 1-7)

ok



5) When IR signal is received, send confirmation message (send "move" back)

or not.... you could skip this step

6) If you're not done, goto (2)

I have a PC interface that I will post, ASAP.  It uses the IR tower to watch
games and display the board on the screen.  It also shows times, and move
history.


umm, HELLO  I'm waiting!!!!!


If anyone wants to display their code, feel free to send it to me (or send a
link)

wadda ya think kevin???

should we(you mainly) offer C$ v1.1 code.



The code should:
A) Run on standard firmware (ha)

OR

B) Include the firmware and other files needed for download.

One other question that you (the coder) may want to answer: Does your program do
anything random, or will it play the exact same game (given the same input)
every time.  (people may want to test it more than once, if it DOES include
something random)

Questions?

I have a question??   do you ~HAVE~ to tip if you are at a resturant and the menu says that a gratutiy will be automaticly added for groups over 8 ???
