Game Shell is an open sourece (msvc) project

I am sorry for my bad English. I shall be very thanksfull if sombody would send me correction of this text or its bits

Game and players relate the program exchanging of symbols from a finite alphabet. You may create for example player classes as for a specific game as for all games (univerdsal players), including AI players, witch can compite.

You may extend this program defining your own games, interfaces for games or player classes.

To make your own game perform following steps:

1. Add new item for array parGames in file GameShell.h (Provide Game's name, minimal allowed player count, maximal allowed players count, alphabet size). Game's index in this array will code of the game.
2. Define new class as an inharitance of CGame. Override members to perform specific for this game actions. (See Game.h file).
   NOTICE! For each game must exist at least one interface.
3. Find up code switch switch(m_nGame) in file ChildView.cpp and add "case" statement for creation of instance of your class.
4. Add #include "YourGame.h" directive to file ChildView.cpp.

To make your own interface perform following steps:

1. Add new item for array parIntefaces in file GameShell.h (Provide Interface's name and id of the game to witch the interface relates). Interface's index in this array will code of the interface.
2. Define new class as an inharitance of CInterf. Override members to perform specific for this game actions. (See Interf.h file).
3. Find up code switch switch(m_nInterface) in file ChildView.cpp and add "case" statement for creation of instance of your class.
4. Add #include "YourInterf.h" directive to file ChildView.cpp.

To make your own player class perform following steps:

1. Add new item for array parPlayers in file GameShell.h (Provide Player's name and id of the game to witch the player class relates - it must be -1 for universal player). Game's index in this array will code of the interface.
2. Define new class as an inharitance of CPlayer. Override members to perform specific for this game actions. (See Player.h file).
3. Find up code switch(m_dlgPlayers.GetPlayerClass(i)) in file ChildView.cpp and add "case" statement for creation of instance of your class.
4. Add #include "YourPlayer.h" directive to file ChildView.cpp.

When you create an instance of some player class you may initialize its giving an additional data. To assign by user theese parameters you must create CXDataDlg inharitance where user enters parameters.

I you will have made new a new component of the GameShell, please send me its source code on [email protected]. I am working with AI players to include to this GameShell and we may conduct a tournament.
