[VB5] Heartless Victory - Show No Mercy [source & exe]

[drivenbywhat]

Hi everyone. This is a game I've been working on for a few months now. It's a strategy card game like Magic The Gathering or Duel Monsters (yugioh). However, it's not as complicated as those games, nor does it have graphics.
The game is fully functional and free.

It's a 1v1 game that can be played on a single computer or it could be played through a LAN or internet connection.

Please read the instructions on how to play the game. If you don't, you'll be lost as what to do. The learning curve is small when compared to similar games. The instructions are just 9 pages long. The instructions for other games like this are around 60 pages long.

------reason for releasing the source-----

I was thinking of releasing the source and so I have! I thought about it and decided that I really couldn't take the game any further with my skills. I also thought it would be a good example for someone to look at if they wanted to do a similar game. The game also uses winsock, so if anyone wants to learn how to use it, take a look at the source.

I have commented the code as much as possible so there shouldn't be too many problems seeing what each piece of code is doing.

Things I would like to see improved on the game if you choose to run with it:

#1 - The ability to make a "game server" so people don't have to give out their ip addresses to someone so they can host a game.

#2 - Be able to send all game updates in one shot instead of 8.

#3 - Give the cards pictures!
