Discon is a game invented and sold in Australia in the 60s. I don't think it was very popular and I don't think you can still buy it. The company doesn't seem to exist... But in our family we enjoy playing it and this game allows you to play it with another human (or you could see if you can get a high score in a given time or something for solitary play)
Currently developed in VS2005 VB.NET 2.0. Designed to be a simple implementation of Discon for vb developers who want to play around with Visual Studio to implement board games which is what I basically like to do. Specifically I was trying my hand at object oriented programming initially (in the VB6 era).
The front end is very simple. Graphics are implemented with each piece being a control. That makes dragging and dropping easy. It's very simple therefore to create new images if that's the bit you'd like to play with.
The rules of the game are detailed in the .hlp and .htm files included. It hasn't got any automatic computer generated moves yet though that would be fun and relatively simple to implement... (see Chess source... knight class for example)
Let me know if you find any of this useful.
Zip file with executable if you want to just install it. Download the zip, extract the files and run setup. Discon.zip
Actually I'm not sure which files you need to make this work. Let me know if there's a problem. DisconSource.zip
