Description:
"Artillery Duel" is a clone of a C=64 game which I played - e.g. with my brother - many years ago.
The program has been developed using PocketC for PalmOS and is free software.
"Artillery Duel" comes as black/white and gray scale version - please check readme for installation details.
Update Description:
Change Types: C=Cosmetic change; E=Error correction; F=Functional change; T=Technical change
PLEASE NOTE: Black/white version (does not mean grayscale) is no longer provided, please ask me if you have a black/white device only.
Changes in build 236M (04/05/02):
- T: reduced size of program by about 20-25% - uses compressed bitmaps now (bitmaps were not compressed by PRCedit beta - solved with PILRC)
Changes in build 236M to build 1CAA (03/07/02):
- C: plants look much more like in original C64 Artillery Duel
- C: shakes screen after each finished duel now (like it, Shano C?)
Changes in build 1CAA to build 1ASG (12/14/01):
- F: added separate Artillery Duel Winter Edition
- T: changed grayscale mode support from 4 shades of gray to 16 shades of gray (some older Palms do not support this - use the included "ArtilleryDuel_1ASG" in this case)
- T: changed landscape calculation
- C: added Mountains to playfield background as in original Commodore 64 "Artillery Duel"
- C: replaced PocketC bitmap for sky with real bitmap (much nicer, but consumes more memory)

Very nice graphocs and fun to play. But I have problems getting shots to repeat. ONce I hit the target next shot is off. May be this is how the opposing palm wins. Would like the rules of play may be this is how this is supposed to work.

Top game. This is the first piece of software I have downloaded for my new PDA. Many thanks.

Great game! I like the winter addition. It works great on my m125. Great graphics, and the computer isn't overwhelmingly hard. I want to see two player infrared play!

Pretty close remake for the Palm, except ya forgot the little army guys that walk across the field after the match! ;) That's alright, though. I'll let 'er slide. =)

Fun game. Great greysacle graphics. There should be an IR option for two players. The computer opponent is hard to beat but that only makes it better.

Yay, color!! Works on OS4.1 and SONY Clie Hi-res (760). Great Game. Much improved - I like being able to go against the Palm now! Color (and scenery) makes it a pleasure. Thanks for making it!!

Very addicting game. Would like to see an IR version.

The game has some bugs to work out. The first being a problem with the landscape, the second being with the erratic firing behaviour - no I don't thing this models a gaussian behaviour of flight paths - I think this is a genuine error with updating gun angle. This looks promising, would like to see an addin of wind etc.
