Does that mean he's back on your Christmas card list?
As a result of the deal Marvin did with the game company, he informed me I couldn't add a tactical map as that would break his agreement with that company. The tactical map in Aurora is similar to what Starfire Assistant would have had. As far as I know, the game company never built any software though for Starfire. On the bright side, without all the problems with Marvin, Aurora would never have existedDoes that mean he's back on your Christmas card list?
My recollection is that it (the tactical window) was never finished - that was when Steve switched over to developing Aurora.
I also recall that at the time Marvin had signed a deal with a computer company to create a computer-based tactical Starfire game. I don't know whatever became of it, but you might try looking for that.
[edit] I also recall a system for people to design (computer versions of) their own hex games, but my memory is failing me on what it's called. I just spent some time Googling for it and couldn't find it (I don't think it was Vassal - I think it was something like "GameBox"). I would think that at this point someone would have written a "generic" application that lets you simply place counters on a hex board, but I couldn't find one. I'm also not sure how that would fit in with your mechanisms for turning video into audio....
