Overview

In 2005, i started disassembling the Atari version of Colonial Conquest to understand a strange behaviour during the battle round. To fully shed light on this, i had to write the battle system back to a high level language.

Months after months i added new features, making it almost playable and getting closer to the original game.

But an important feature was missing: being able to play Colonial Conquest with friends on LAN or over the Internet.

So i began refactoring my code to include the network play: CoCoNet was born.

CoCoNet (Colonial Conquest remake)

CoCoNet features:

• Rules and graphics based on Colonial Conquest for Atari ST
• Multiplayer games on LAN or over the Internet
• Simultaneous turns
• Enhanced interface
• NEW: Custom maps support (includes a small editor)
• Preliminary support for custom AI (C#)
• Game and players statistics

CoCoNet requires:

• Optional (but recommended) DirectX 9 compatible graphics card
• Microsoft DirectX 9.0c
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
• Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 3.1

Thanks to Koin, Monty, Symoon, CivLord, Captain Jack & dizt3mp3r for their support!
