Open-sourcing Triple Triad Gold, et. al.

[delta]

I think it would be great. Interested people (such as me) can continue long-delayed projects, to improve it and add conceived features that the original developer didn't quite accomplish.

Maybe we can have a cvs here. Something like SourceForge. What do you think?

[Qhimm]

All projects except TTG and the chocobo patch are open-sourced already. Although the CVS idea is nice.

[delta]

Yup, my point exactly. ^_^;

[ye-roon]

whats CVS ??

[delta]

CVS stands for 'Concurrent Versions System'. Overly-simplified, it basically allows a team of developers to work on one project at the same time without worrying about versioning conflicts regarding the specific module they are working on (well, almost).

Err... I hope I was understood. My English is not really very good, is it? English isn't really my primary language, so sorry 'bout that. ^_^;

All projects except TTG and the chocobo patch are open-sourced already.

We even already know how the chocobo patch works, though... you can manually apply it in about 15 seconds with a hex editor.  

Anyway, I don't see TTG being open-sourced really soon... we might see future releases of it, though, but I imagine progress is slow.
Then again, I'm not Qhimm, so I don't really know ^^

this is gonna sound realy n00bish, but whats TTG?
i remember triple triad from somewhwere but i cant remember where...GOD i hate memory blanks >_<
stupid head!

[Aaron]

Triple Triad is a card mini-game in FF8.
http://ttg.qhimm.com/ is TTG's web site.  It's a "remake" of the mini-game by Qhimm.

[fa_pa]

what about a new release?

maybe you can finish the network code. that would be realy cool because i love the game and the multiplayer mode would realy rock

[Darkdevil]

I knew i heard it somewhere... i can be sooooo stupid sometimes >_<

Thanks Aaron

I'm not sure if people want to sill do this, but i started writing a windows mobile version of TT at university which i did about 30%, i abandoned it and am currently working on a new version but instead of limiting this to one platform, i have started wring a dll that contains:

Embedded Card Images
Basic Rules etc.

I need help with it since I aint got the time to finish it!

Its currently written in .NET and i have opened a sourceforge for it but not 100% how it works.

If anyone is interested, please let me know!!

[cpayne1985]

BTW i'v also coded about

70% of the game application (WinForms)
40% of the game WebForms

60% written an ASPX web service for multiplayer,
30% of a windows mobile app
30% of an XNA app

All platforms should be interplayable from each other!!

Also I was thinking about attempting wii platform, i heard somebody mentioning MONO for the wii a while back....

[jesquire]

If anyone is interested, please let me know!!

cpayne, I can't tell you how glad I am to hear that someone is still into old school triple triad!

Its weird. I just started playing TTG again a few days ago and decided to look at the old site to see if its been updated at all. Of course, it wasn't. I took a peek in the forums though and saw your glorious post and I had to chime in.

Yeah man. I'm interested.

I'm no programmer, but I'd love to help in any way possible if need be.

DAMN YEAH!

I actually made a Triple Triad clone with all of the possible game rules and cards a long time ago. It ran directly off of the FF8 PSX CD. You can download it here:

There was an Xbox port, which only has source code available for it. It was pretty badly written, looking back, but you're free to take that code and do whatever you want with it.
