Hacking Danger Man

Hacking the source code of this game is strongly encouraged!

Source Code

The software is written in Java, and the full source code and everything you need is included in the download.

If you've got any questions about the source code, just email them to me. I'll reply to any emails, and stick the same text on the site for others to see.

Creating Your Own Maps

The maps are just CSV files. The easiest way to create your own is to copy one of the existing maps and tweak it. The maps are located in the /data/maps subdirectory. You will notice that each one comes with a matching OpenOffice spreadsheet file. This is because it is much easier to edit it using a spreadsheet program.

I've accidentally deleted the original copy of the maps!

You can download fresh copies from here.

Sharing Maps

At the moment, if you wish to share maps, the easiest thing to do is just email them to me (map_AT_carlylesmith.karoo.co.uk) and I'll stick them on the website (with full credits of course). Alternatively, if you're hosting them on another server, just send me a link.

I do intend to build in a special network filesharing system into the software eventually.
