Dominion (by Rio Grande Games)

[jatill]

This post isn't strictly Magic-related, but I thought that fans of Manalink might also enjoy a card game called Dominion (by Rio Grande Games).

I learned some VB to write the custom set editor, so I thought I'd apply my knowledge to coding this awesome game as well. Give it a shot, and have fun.

Install Instructions:
just unzip and play!

If you gets errors because your OS is missing files, then run this installer, and then repeat the step above.

Really cool! Do you plan on adding the expansions in as well? Thanks again, I was hoping someone would get around to doing this. Also you should post/link this on the Board Game Geek website. I'm sure a lot of people on there would love to have this.

Thanks for making this. The AI appears to be pretty good at the game.

I did find a bug though. When I try to use the mine card to turn a copper into a silver, I get a notice:

Runtime error '9':
Subscript out of range

and the game crashes when I hit okay. I get the notice when I am prompted to choose a treasure to discard and I click on the copper.


After playing some more games, I have noticed that I get the same error occasionally when using Remodel. The error from using mine has occured every time I use mine, but using Remodel rarely generates the error.

Big Dominion fan, thanks for making this!

Will do. I plan on doing to expansions within a couple weeks (50 more actions for those that were wondering)
Thanks for the bug reports. I've already fixed the Mine bug in my version, but I'll have to check out Remodel. I've never seen that crash yet.

Looks great!

I've yet to be able to complete a game though. I keep getting "subscript out of range" and a crash every game. I'd be happy to help test any new versions.

wow! amazing
I'm great fan of this game, we play it my friends very often
unfortunately I also got Subscript out of range exception and couldn't finish any game
but keep working!!!

btw, what language do u use? can I help with developing?

[jatill]

I'm not sure where the subscript out of range bug is coming from. Can you try downloading this version and see if it is any better? This version includes 7 or 8 new cards, too, but they are not tested yet.

nantuko84-
I'm using VB6 to develop. Is that something you can help with?

Wow! This is excellent. One of my favourite boardgames and play regularly. Please do keep up the good work.

I have been able to complete one game so far but all the others (possibly 5 or so) have crashed out with the subscript out of range bug. I think mostly occur when I have selected the wrong thing "out of turn" i.e a mistaken mouse click or selection box. Not tried the new version you have just posted.

[mcdog]

Completed 2 games without any crashes with the new version!


edit: Played about 10 games and no more crashes. Very nice job!

Bug? - There seems to be 30 available curse cards. In rules there should be same number as VP cards.

That is incorrect. For 4 players, the rules specify 30 Curses. Though I will need to update the code for 2 and 3 players (10 and 20 curses respectively)

Oops! That is rather embarrassing! I was thinking 2 player - but was wrong anyway. I guess that is what happens when you just play with 2 player config'ed packs.

This new version is much more stable and I have had no more subscript error messages (in 13 games). Also not sure that I have seen all of the 7/8 new cards yet, but I haven't seen any implementation errors as yet (although it can be difficult to keep track of duration effects despite the memo details on left of the screen).

Again fantastic work!

That is awesome. But you should be careful, because Dominion is also available at Brettspielewelt, which is probably the holder of rights for the online version of Dominion.
