Cluedome 0.8.1

Return to main page

Download

If you are using Windows, simply download and run the setup program to install Cluedome. Alternatively, you may download the two Zip files, and extract them into the same folder. Then open the folder and run cluedome.exe. You must use this method if you do not have administrator access to the PC.

If you are using Linux, download and extract the source code tarball. There are brief instructions for installation in the README file, and a more detailed description of the configure script in INSTALL. The wxWidgets library is required.

Note: If you are using Windows and the setup program does not work on your system for some reason, you can instead use the following two zip files. Extract them both to a single directory, and run cluedome.exe to start the game.

Notes

0.8 features a new table system for setting up the network game. This should be easier to use than the old system, although old players should realise that the old method for starting the game no longer works. Follow the prompts in the main window to see how to use it. It should be possible for people with version 0.7 of the program to play along with users of 0.8, although it is probably best if someone with 0.8 hosts the game, and those using old versions of the program need to find out the correct channel to join from the host.

0.8.1 fixes a few bugs in 0.8.0 which, although minor, had a dramatic effect on the game.

There is still no proper AI yet, and no in-game detective notes.

If you are having difficulty installing or using Cluedome, please ask for help on IRC.

There are probably still a few glitches. This should be considered beta-quality code. If you find a bug in Cluedome, please send me an e-mail or report it on IRC.

Feel free to look at the source code and make any changes you like. You may e-mail me any improvements or extensions you make. The C++ source code is in .h and .cpp files. resources.rc is the Windows resource file. cluedome.iss is the input file for Inno Setup. I develop Cluedome on Linux, using vim. The board image was made using GIMP. The Windows executable is generated using the MinGW cross-compiler. I use Wine to run Inno Setup to generate the setup program.
