Cricket Sim 2004

[Andrew_14]

If you are new to programming why don't you consider Visual Basic instead of Visual C++. That way you can concentrate on the game content/features instead of programming details/bugs. As others (eg. Neil) can attest, writing a cricket sim is quite challenging; adding the challenge of learning a big (and complicated) language like C++ might discourage you early in the project. This is the reason that so many cricket sims never get finished.

Don't have VB

good work m8!

OK! Working on match engine, as a treat I got a screenshot of the main screen for you. I still have to add some buttons, but I have attached it. More to come over enxt few days...

NOTE: It looks crappy cause it was taken on my friends 800x600 screen reso, and Windows 98, with crappy screen.

Oh BTW, does anyone have a 32x32 icon I can use for the game? The one I'm using now goes inverrted for some reason!

Any chance of an in-game Richard Dickinson to tell us if the wickets are deserved or not?

 

[Andrew_14]

Lol! I dunno, we'll see

Another updated screeny!

[Monty]

[Andrew_14]

It's half and half. You manage your team through each tournamanet, like take care of funds, players etc.

 

[Monty]

cool thanks mate

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Neat! Good work mate

 

[Tom Halsey]

I'll have a in-game screenshot (when a match is playing) soon.

Just a question, I'm in the process of developing a Quick Start mode. It's for peiople who want to have a quick game. Am am stuck on something, and I don't know what to do, so here are 3 options you can vote on:

When you start Quick Sart Mode:

1. Teams are selected randomly for you
2. You select them
3. Just Australia vs England, or whatever you want, the same teams play every time

 

[Monty]

do you mean cm4 quick start sort of thing or cricket 2004 quickstart sort of thing

 

[kears_falcon_9]

i rekon it should be random teams. bit of a surprise. btw it looks great .

 

[Hoggy31]

wow, the game looks great. cant wait for it to be released

 

[Monty]

yeah

 

[Andrew_14]

The Cricket Sim 2004 Quick Start is just a small mode where you play one game. I'll probably end up doing random teams, for the surprise

Thanks guys for the comments, I'll upload some more screenshots for ya.

4 New pics for ya all! Note the Quick Start one is still being worked on!

More soon!
