#2 above is a major series of coding functions, so I'm breaking it into chunks. I have, however, just completed a milestone of making supervillains able to spawn. I plan to do the same for minions tonight, and work on Evil Plans tomorrow.

This, apart from #6, below, are the main bits of work that need to be done. If I'm healthy enough, I might optimistically hope for a 1.0 release by Monday.

For the CCS things, maybe have the news report on nonviolent CCS Activities like "CCS passes out Conservative Propaganda Leaflets" or "CCS publishes new issue of the Conservative Guardian" or "Conservative Disobedience downtown"?

I'm not sure violence is best thing, Most find violence the fun part about the game... I mean who want wait and click the wait buttion to just win

[SlatersQuest]

Part #2 is done! 

Honestly, altering the way violence for the CCS works I'm not really sure is necessary, so I'm putting it on a lower priority than for the LCS. There are two reasons for this:

1. Theory reason: the LCS supposedly opposes violence, and supports gun control. For this reason, if they are to use violence to achieve their objective, they have to make it clear that they are using The Man's own tools against him, and so have to be more Liberally heroic in other areas. The CCS doesn't have to worry about being accused of hypocrisy (at least, not until the CCS backer list is published, at which point they cannot deny such accusations!).

2. Gameplay reason: The LCS has a variety of strategies that it can employ, from selling music to demonstrations to the Liberal Guardian to Terra Vitae secret missions to site violence. Of these, site violence is by far the most effective. It is appropriately balanced by its level of risk, but nonetheless it means that any composite strategy will necessarily depend on the violence to get the job done. Therefore making the other strategies competitive options will help gameplay.

#3 is done.

[Kamal-Sadek]

I can't wait for the official 1.0 release! I can't tell how long I've been following this project for, hope everything goes (relatively) smoothly!

[SlatersQuest]

#s 4 and 5 are done!

[SlatersQuest]

#6 is done. One more final step to go!

Is there a github? The community would like to contribute (or i woild,at least)

[SlatersQuest]

Sorry for the lateness - some family issues are distracting me.

Not on github (I don't know how github works). However, the distributable on DFFD includes the complete source code. I'd be happy to have community help.

Happy Liberal Independence Day!

Version 1.0 is released!!

Right now it's only available for Mac, although the source code is included in the .zip. I will be working to port it to Windows (I already know somebody who has volunteered to make it happen, but any of you who want to help would also be more than welcome to!).

I'm certain that there are bugs, so I might call this "Beta", but it is playable and all of the core features are coded.

Have fun! I know I will!

Does anyone have a precompiled windows version of this?

[IsaacG]

I've been trying to compile this for Windows, but I've been getting this error:
"fatal error C1061: compiler limit : blocks nested too deeply"
for the file stringconversion.cpp

I checked online, and it says this error is caused by possessing 250+ unnested loops, and the only solution is to refactor the code and "Limit the number of loops or chained else-if clauses within a block. ".

I plan to give this a look myself, but would appreciate any knowledgeable input.

[SlatersQuest]

I am sorry - I had a recent death in the family that is serving as a distraction. I have not yet asked my friend to compile a Windows version of this, and will be busy for the next couple weeks, but after that will try.

Isaac, can you tell me where in the code this crash is occurring?

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that.

Ah, sure.
It's the file

I've actually figured out how to fix it, though I think it may be specific to my compiler, VS 2015.  It doesn't like especially long ifelse chains, so it can be 'fixed' by changing the ifelse chain into multiple shorter chains.  Basically, just removing a few of the else statements.
It, ah, isn't optimal, but since every if statement uses return, there shouldn't be any change in behavior.

I also have to fix some linker problems atm.  I'm getting flashbacks from the last time I tried to install visual studio on my computer.  If only I could remember how I fixed them...

My current error is:

Code: [Select]

     1>SDL2main.lib(SDL_windows_main.obj) : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _fprintf imported in function _ShowError
     1>monthly.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl TVRecordMonth(void)" (?TVRecordMonth@@YAXXZ) referenced in function "void __cdecl passmonth(char &,char)" (?passmonth@@YAXAADD@Z)
     1>titlescreen.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl TVRecordMonth(void)" (?TVRecordMonth@@YAXXZ)
     1>SDL2main.lib(SDL_windows_main.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp____iob_func referenced in function _ShowError
     1>Release/crimesquad.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals

I'm trying to find the solution, since I remember fixing it last time, I just don't remember how.

Edit: I found the solution

It's this breaking thing Microsoft introduced in 2015.  I should have a windows executable available by tomorrow.
