Hi all!

Thank you for all your replies and suggestions!

New version is out! Atoms v1.2! (3.3mb)

Some of the new stuff in it:


  • 3 AI Difficulty Levels (Easy, Medium, Hard)
  • 5 Field size variations (4x4,6x6,8x8,10x10,12x12)
  • 3 Window Resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768)
  • Atoms Loader (Easier multiplayer setup)
  • Atoms Loader Source Code (If you have VC++ 2005 Express (it's free) you can modify Atoms Loader to your game. No more ugly .bat files in order to run the Server, or define a player name and Ip address for the client. If you don't have VC++ 2005 Express, ask me to make a Loader.exe for your own game.)
  • Hamachi included (Are you behind a router? Fed up with having to deal with port forwarding and all that yap? Then give Hamachi a try. It's free and it's awesome!)
  • Observers supported (Join in a server and watch others play)
  • Multiplayer messages (Notifications if someone entered or left the server)
  • More distinct colors (Yellow atoms don't look like green anymore. And the font colors are clearer)
  • Multiple shots bug fixed (In laggy multiplayer games, someone could fire more than 1 atoms in a single turn)




About the Atoms Loader. If you're making a multiplayer game and you're not a fortunate A7 Pro owner, you'll have to deal with .bat files. I deeply disliked them, which is why I made this program:




I realize now that this program is generic enough to be used by anyone working on a gamestudio multiplayer game, so if you want one, I can easily make a version for you. Source code is also included in the zip file.

i win but don't know how.


It's all in the chain reactions. Once you get better you'll learn to control them better.
