Screenshot: Proof of Concept for Hecatomb
by cfgt on Jul.09, 2009, under Images
I've actually been building proof of concepts for a PC version of the game for a while now. I've been trying very hard to improve speeds using just the .NET CLR, but it looks like I'll have to begin looking into either making or borrowing a proper image library for this. My own very basic algorithms just aren't enough to keep up – I'm hoping to have it run on 512MB RAM computers, although it looks like whoever's interested is going to need 1GB to run this well – it currently runs using just 8MB of RAM – but it can easily balloon if I decide to preload resources into RAM. We'll see.
Oh yes, card images copyright Wizards of the Coast, or Hasbro, or whoever owns them. Definitely not mine.

If you would believe it, one day later, I’ve worked on the game a lot – and every change is under the hood. It actually still produces the same screenshot – just now it’s many steps ahead towards the final goal.
