Hey guys,
 I have posted the link to my Risk project on here, but it was attached
to a question regarding infoWindows, so I just wanted more people to be
able to see it and see if anyone (besides my friends who hear me talk
about it all the time) have any thoughts or feature requests.

For the next version (2.0) I'm going to attempt multiplayer support,
but we'll take that step once it gets there. For those curious on the
more immeadiate future, I'll be fiddling with infowindow tabs and
number of player options.

Thanks
Zen

excellent work.  When will it be ready to play, or did I miss
something?  Later.

You can actually play a "hot-seat" game. So everyone needs to be
huddled around one computer. Once you select a game type it
auto-generates a map (when testing I usually just do the minimal game
for simplicity) and you click on markers to add reinforcements, attack
territories from the infowindows of the nation markers. The two buttons
in the middle (the rook and the fast forward button) are for fortifying
your nations after attackin and ending the turn. If you still can't
figure it out I'll try to put some screenshots into the example game
off the faq so you can actually see what I mean.

you have mexico as central america, mexico belongs to north america

Awesome work there, can't wait to see multiplayer support. I ran into
one problem though: with 2 players left neither player received cards
even when they took over a territory. The cash in value was 20 if that
helps :)

Hey Ammut,
 I tested your issue this morning and did not notice the problem. The
only thing I suspect is if you were to be playing a long game, the deck
does not re-shuffle (right now) and it could have just been running out
of the deck of cards instead of being as you state. I'll try to test
that a few different ways and see if I get the same thing. What OS and
Browser were you using that you noticed this on?
Also, cash value locks once it hits 20 to prevent a massive sweep of
the world by cashing cards late in the game.

Nice work Zen. Congratz

thats a joke, right?  or was it that way in the original game?

I hate to be a stupid noob. . . but everytime I click on the link I get
this error that says: "The Google Maps API key used on this web site
was registered for a different website.  You can generate a new key for
this website at http://www.google.com/apis/maps/."

What should I do in order to play the game?  Do I really need to create
my own APT key?  Would I enter in the link?  Even if I do generate a
key, what do I do with it?

Did you just get slashdotted (aka more than 50,000 page views and thus
Google canceled your API key because you need permission for that many
first)?  What's up?  How can I get it to work with that error.  Sounds
awesome!  Thanks to anyone in advance for any help on the matter!

That's a known problem with IE7beta.

Could you do me a favour and tell me what IE7beta shows on this page:
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/googlemaps/opp/location.htm

I really don't want to try installing IE7 on my machine yet, but if it's
misreporting the identity of the website in a recognisable way, it might
be possible to produce a workround.

In the original game: There were only six continents: North America,
South America, Australasia (changed later to Austrialia, though I think
Oceania or something is the correct name these days), Asia, Africa and
Europe.

The location should be
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/googlemaps/opp/location.htm
This browser reports:
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/googlemaps/opp/location.htm

OK that makes sense. . . now I don't feel quite so stupid.  Yep, I have
IE 7.0 BETA.  I went to the link using IE 7 BETA and it was actually
reporting it correctly.

The location should be
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/googlemaps/opp/location.htm
This browser reports:
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/googlemaps/opp/location.htm

Maybe there is no work around with IE 7 BETA then?  S'all good, I can
just use firefox!  :)  Thank you for figuring that out for me!

Another idea for Multiplayer would be the ability to play with friends
by email.  It might require a lot of work to get going though.

I was hoping that IE7beta was misreporting the winndow.location
information. The rest of the key checking code looks like simple data
manipulation. I can't see anything else that the browser could get wrong
without it's Javascript implementation being completely broken.

thank you, my whole office has not worked in two days!

Only if I remembered how to play the game, I'm sure I'd be addicted my
whole work day.... One of these days, I'll figure it out.

Good work.

Hey all,
 First thanks for the kind words.
 I've gotten a bunch of reports from Safari users that the radio
buttons and checkboxes inside infoWindows cannot be clicked. I've tried
to research on these boards about Safari problems, and from what I
understand the few problems that were around about a month ago seemed
to have been resolved.
The buttons/checkboxes work in IE, Firefox, and Opera (that I've seen)
in both Windows and Linux. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
