Tycoon Online
Tycoon was designed by Wolfgang Kramer and Horst-Rainer Rösner in
1998 and released by Jumbo International. I suspect that it is out of print.
The server keeps track of every game played, so I occasionally update the
scoreboard with new numbers.
Tycoon is a Java application. For download information, go back to the
online page.
If you not have been here before, please do a quick scan of the
rules.
There is user interface information there that you should know.
In particular, you should note:
- In the control panel, press a button to do it; press again to undo it.
- You end your turn when you press "submit." Your turn is then sent to the server and
to the other players. No one sees what you've done or undone until you press submit.
- The C button takes you to a chat panel. The button turns yellow when another player
sends you a message.
- Press the P button to see player information. The $ values are estimates of what
players will be worth at the next payday: cash - debt + income. It tells you how you are doing.
- If you exit a game, you cannot return. It was a real pain trying to
implement re-entry, so I didn't.
