What is the state of Battle City? I was looking through the github repository, and the issues do not seem to have a “priority.” Has the “community” or “evil overlord” decided the best course of action for Battle City and its development/growth?
@rileyw, Hey now, listen, I’ll be totally honest with you… I have no idea who you are, but if you’re an old player you know that basically everyone who plays Battle City says it’s the greatest game of all time in the history of eternity and all that jazz…
That being said, Battle City has had it’s ups and downs. Right now, we’re having one of the downs. Like rock bottom down. Down enough to warrant a second down-low expression, the one where you’re between a rock and a hard place. So since we’re already at rock bottom, imagine that we’ve also been crushed by a hard place and the only way down from here is by squeezing our leftover remains down through some metamorphic rock deeper into the Earths crust.
But I’m a positive guy and all.
I figure, if we keep dropping this low, we’ll eventually drop all the way down through the Earths mantle, then fall even lower right down the other side of the planet. I believe we can drop down so low we’ll fall all the way right back up the other side.
And so, if you’re here to help and save the day, there will probably be a parade. I’ve sort of done nothing recently myself besides host the occasional server, but I’m a fan of teamwork and think it’s great that you’re looking at the code! If you should happen to stick around, that should be sufficient motivation to make me do something useful too, as I very much like parades.
@Deceth, originally, I am a Corporate Heaven player that played very little of Battle City during Codehammer’s reign; therefore, I feel like this is the only connection that I have to former Corporate Heaven community. I have followed the Battle City community as it has attempted to revive the game. My objective for contributing to Battle City is to strengthen my knowledge in the technologies and mechanics surrounding games. Battle City seems like a suitable project that I provide worthy input and code commits meanwhile achieve my objective. If my contributions kindle some player activity then it is icing on the cake.
@rileyw, I am from opposite origins – I am a Battle City player that played very little of Corporate Heaven during Codehammer’s reign 🙂
Thanks again for all the contributions you’ve made to the source code. You’ve definitely helped clean-up the Battle City project on GitHub!
Contributing has been a pleasure. I have been spending time reviewing the code and hopefully documenting the correct logic. I am hoping that the documentation will lead to further development.
Faix, we have been resolving some of the outstanding bugs and implementing dialogs to allow players to connect to a specified game server.
🙂 I’d like to contribute.
I was just browsing all the old ody stuff, man, seriously, times have changed.
I’ll never forget lag-orbing on my laptop under the sheets while staying up too late at night in my room.

Hey just a word of advice….it would be cool to see Hanzies battlecitys graphics used for a graphic update….just an idea…
@OrberMajor I remember waking up at 5am on a school day just to play a bit of Battlecity. I didn’t have the luxury of staying up late. Good days. :’)
