Checkers tutorial

#1 Use a debug build and a release build.

#2 I've had multiple instances running using a debug build ;)

#3 How do i do a debug build?

#4 Switch your build environment (example Visual Studio 2005 express) to build a debug version... and build it.

#5 I have visual studio 2005 . net, but could I get a little more detailed instruction?

I have never "built" t2d, im just working with scripting.

#6 First... get it building at all.

You can find instructions for doing so if you search GG.

After that, you can change it in the Project properties (I believe).

#7 It is kind of annoying. I'd like to play checkers with someone on the same PC. I wonder what changes would be needed to allow that.

#8 There is a tutorial on TDN on how to set up TGB to compile in VS 2005 express, its a great one by Jason Cahill.

I did the Checkers Tutorial and game in response to the requests of needing a multiplayer example using the present "turn based" networking (though TorqueNet Lite is a better representation).

I'd have to think on it a bit to see if there would be an easy way to allow a "hotseat" t ype of play mode without having to restructure it (and still keep it clean)... though I'm pretty busy at the office so It might become a weekend project.

#9 That would be great, because a turnbased-single player game, would be a nice tutorial to have for reference

#10 Hmm... maybe I'll make a tutorial some weekend about adding a hotseat mode to the Checkers Demo

#11 I did a debug build of t2d and i could run the checkerstutorial twice, but when I hosted a game it did not appear on the other game, I could not join. Is there something else I need to do? (this computer is not on a network if it makes a difference)

Also, what else is a debug build good for?
