CivOne - An Open Source remake of Civilization 1

• Added a configuration tool
• Reworked graphics system, better colour representation
• Added the New Game intro/story, including animations

• Added city view screen (no buildings yet)
• Added palace view (can not build your palace yet)
• Roads/railroads/mines now fully working
• You can no longer build ships in cities that are not close to water
• Units can step onto ships now

I have Windows 8.1 as well, but I think I have .NET 4.5 installed. It might be the .NET version or maybe there's still lot of room to optimize your rendering code but the bigger pixel scale I use, the slower the rendering is. For example scale 4 is totally unplayable, it takes minute to the barbarian sail to move.

Maybe it's too late as you already programmed the graphics engine, but I would recommend using for example .NET bindings for SFML library. It's easy to use and powerful multimedia library. You can embed SFML window into Windows Forms component (panel for example).

While implementing the tech tree into Civ, I discovered an error on this page: http://www.civfanatics.com/civ1/refcharts/civ1techchart.htm
It says Bridge Building requires Iron Working and Alphabet... that should be Iron Working and Construction.

SWY said:

So... the tech tree is implemented, fully working. Including the "Wise Men" screen (both ancient and modern) en the next research popup. Here's some screenshots, also showing the customize world screen and generated world map: http://imgur.com/a/nOSO0

Edit:
I've set up a github account. After version 0.03 I will start documenting the code and focus on releasing the source in github. From alpha 0.04 on, I will release Civ under the GPL licence.

I can however see you are making the same mistake in your shoreline rendering as darkpanda is making in JCivED. My guess is you are only using the 16x16 tiles much like all other terrain types? I believe shore rendering is done with the 8x8 subtiles, and then occasionally patched with the 16x16 palette shifting versions.

*chokes* ... ahem, would you mind to elaborate where you find mistakes in JCivED's shoreline rendering?

As of the latest version(s), JCivED's shoreline rendering is using the original CIV.EXE algorithm to render coasts, using the 8x8 tiles... So your statement made me jump

• Intro/credits/main menu (load game/high scores disabled)
• Fade in/out on new game intro
• New game welcome text (...you have risen to become...)
• If you lose the game (by deleting your starting settlers) you will see the Game Over sequence
• Civilization advances (units will be available/obsolete)
• Civilopedia for Civilization Advances (page 1 finished, working on page 2)

Thanks for the help on the coasts... I can't figure them out, whatever I try, the coastlines (especially south) don't look right. If you could explain them, I can still get them in the next version... otherwise you can have a go once I've got the source in github.

I've been reading about github, I don't think I'll have a problem with getting the project up there. I'm planning on releasing 0.03 alpha within the next 2 days. After that I will clean up the code and add documentation, ready for release on github.
