[Freedos-devel] PvP Gem game

[Jim H. <jh...@fr...>]

Hi everyone!

Over the last few days, I decided to write a little game, and I wanted
to share it. I call it "PvP Gem" ["Player vs Player Gem"] and it's a
two-player match-3 game.

In this game, two players take turns. You select a "gem," that gem is
destroyed, and you get a point. Other gems fill in from above. If you
can match 3 or more gems, you get points for those too. The first
player to reach 25 points wins.

As you play, you need to be careful what gem you destroy so you don't
set up your opponent for a great move!

So it's a little more than a simple match-3 game. The game requires
some strategy, too. As you play, you need to be careful what gem you
destroy so you don't set up your opponent for a great move!

Uses PC speaker for sound. Requires OpenWatcom to build. MIT license.

I've shared it at https://github.com/freedosproject/pvpgem

There's a "v1.0" release there that also has a compiled version of the
game, so you can play it.


This was just a quick "one off" game and still needs some tweaking.
For example, the game re-draws the board at every move, rather than
just the gems that changed.

In a future version, I'll let the user pick names, so it's not "Player
0" and "Player 1."
