Torres 3D Computer Game (v.1.86)

A computer version of the popular board game Torres published in America by Rio Grande Games. This latest version was released on 21 July 2004.
(v.1.83) Use '/help' to view the "slash" commands.
You can now play voices using the '/voice' command!
(v.1.86) Significantly improved graphics. Because this game was written before I knew about frame limited animation, this game runs a tiny bit slower than my previous version.

Tanbo Computer Game (v.1.07b) My beta version of the strategy game Tanbo!

(v.1.07b) Use the 'h' key to remove some unnecessary details. If your game is running slow, try this key. If it still is slow, PLEASE EMAIL ME! (v.1.06b) Adjusted the lights to be a bit bluer. Added a prototype connection interface. Let me know what you think! Still no chat... use an IM for now. Download Torres3D.exe to your desktop. Once downloaded, run the program. It will ask to extract to a directory called "Tanbo3D". Just say OK (unless you really want it somewhere else). Inside should be the "Tanbo.exe" and two directories: "media" and "interface". Run "Tanbo.exe" to play!

The game starts up very similarly to Torres if you want to read the first 10 lines or so of the Torres Interface Instructions. After the game starts, press [F1] to get instructions. Remember that you need 2 players to play the game. To read the rules outside of the game (or challenge people online), visit Mark Steere's website.

Spark Series: Spark Spark 2: Revenge of the Sparkies!

Sensor Flight: Sensor2: ST

Basic Rules For S2:ST - Get with 5 meters of an target only knowing your distance from it. Use the command 'exit' to quit. Use the command 'go' to start the simulator. Set your speed with 'speed <#>' where <#> is any number from 0.5 to infinity. Set your heading with 'head <#>' where <#> is any number that is your degrees from north (0 is north, 90 is east, and so on). You can use negative degrees. You turn 10 degrees per second max. You can accelerate 0.2 meters per second per second. Advanced Rules For S2:ST - Use '+<#>' or '-<#>' to add or subtract from your heading. Use 'gyro' to stop your current spinning. Use 'norm' to fix your heading from -180 to 180 degrees. Once you've hit all of the targets, use the command 'cont' to go the next level. If a target's distance looks like '###.# (#.#)', the number if parenthesis means that the target is moving at the given rate. GOOD LUCK!
