Monopoly

How would I make a 1 player monopoly game in flash, or is it even possible?

[SeiferTim]

I made one in VisualBasic way back in High-school - I imagine it would be even easier in Flash. Just make the board, and make a bunch of Objects that say how much each space is worth, etc.

yeah wouldn't be so hard, do u know how to make a board game, like roll dice, move around etc?

[SeiferTim]

The hardest part for me was creating an AI that seemed somewhat intellegent. Esspecially in VB, but I pulled it off pretty efficiently. You should go about it in steps:

Create the graphics, for board, pieces, etc.
Create the Die-Rolling & Movement code - not to hard
Create the code that determines what happens on each space - when I made mine, it was a huge "Select Case" statement.
Create code to handle money, and buying houses/hotels
Finish it up

Interesting. I'll have to watch this one.

Thanks for the tips. I will work hard to bring my favourite game to flash. Just might take a while.

I won't charge for it. But it will take a long time. My plate is full with two games (including Monopoly), a website (almost done) and SIX cartoon shorts. But I will make it worthwhile. I see games and I think Flash would be great for Monopoly.

I think it should work just fine.

Why would you need AI?

[SeiferTim]

I had time to waste between finishing the program, and turning it in for a grade ;)
Basically I made a computer opponent who you could play against, and would sorta think before just spending money.

Hey there, I've been looking for an online flash monopoly game for ages (even to the point of ALMOST learning flash just for the sake of making one) and good on ya for taking it into your own hands.

If there's anything i can do to help you (graphics wise etc.), I'd be more than happy to help ;)

It's harder than I thought. Making the art is really time consuming and I am bogged down with homework. And I still have a monster list of things to do:

* The Code

Okay, it's not so big, but theres a lot of code to go through.

[kidsshow]

if theres anything we can help with, just let us know and i'm sure heaps of people will be glad to help.

Its been too long without a flash version of monopoly :P
