This is a re-post of some games i have for download. i didn't realize that my site was not Firefox-friendly. That has been fixed and I have also added another game. Nothing too flashy, but someone might enjoy them. Please feel free to comment on them, good or bad. All are Windows games. Webpage is www.angelfire.com/games/bpgames Games: Coach's Call: Text-based college basketball coaching simulator (VB & C++) Beyond the Arc: 5-on-5 2D basketball game (VB & DX7) El Diamante: small 2D Turn-based strategy game (C++ & SDL) The Hunt: 3D shooter (C++ & DX8) NOTE: If you download Beyond the Arc, it may or may not hang on exit. The source to that game was mangled in an unfortunate hard drive failure, so I don't have the original source to fix the error.

Could you explain what didn't work? It sounds like you actually ran the game. Did it crach on you?

Sorry to say something looks really wrong about the "The hunt" game.

I tried running it and at the beginning it was ok but then the whole computer was ssssssslllllllooooooowwww...

So I closed and reopened it with taskmanager on - the result was I saw my 170Mb of free RAM go to zero in just a few seconds, and then it started using the virtual memory and the only way I could avoid reseting my pc was closing the game process directly...

Some info: I ran it only on windowed mode and I'm using Window$ XP

Apart from that *minor* problem the game look cool

Thanks for that info. The code is a couple of years old and was no where near optimized. I will have to do some digging to see what's going on.
