Stratego NetPlayer

Beta Version 1.01

This is a program I wrote mainly to get the idea of how to transmit data across a TCP/IP connection, or over the internet. However, it is a playable version of a game made by Milton Bradley. Stratego is a strategy war game, and while you do not need anything else to play it, I strongly recommend that you purchase the board game.
With that said, this game is meant to be played by 2 players over the internet. Determining your IP to join a game is the only issue that you may have to do on your own, but Windows 95/98 has a utility called "winipcfg" that will tell you what your IP is.
General system requirements are Windows 95/98, and maybe NT(not sure though).
A help file is included that has simplified information about playing rules, and a few things about some of the rule options that are available. It also has the important information about how to use the user interface. Please look at the help file once you have installed teh program for further information.
Stratego Install(~1.66 MB)
Stratego Patch 06/29/99 <== required patch(see below)
If you have downloaded the install before, and just want the newest version of the program, download the "patch". If you have not downloaded and used the install program, you need to download that. As of the patch date listed above, you need to download BOTH the Install and the patch.
The zip file with just the Executable file is the newest patch. Unzip it, and replace the file "Stratego.exe".

Please send me your comments/criticisms to Megabit. This program is free, but I would ask that if you use this program at all, like it or hate it, please send me an email letting me know what you think. These programs take time and energy, and while I do it for my benefit as much as anything else, I rely on feedback to determine how and what I can improve. Thank you.
