About the Book

Book in GERMAN AND ENGLISH: Ports Of Call is the Classic Computer Game published for Amiga in 1985. After this a sequel follows for PC, then a large version POC XXL, and many more like POCSIM3D, Deluxe Editions and POCSML. Also available for iOS, Android. The classic game ist still very addictive and is an ecomomic simulation including a ship simulator. In this book the history of the game Ports Of Call is described with many original blueprints from the original game design, code segments, flow charts and scribbles of the game story. Also includes the game descrption many of the secret game logic and tips and tricks. Also included as future planes, and previews of Ports Of Call Small Water Edition. Ports Of Call is also used in education on many universities in the world. Students can learn economy with the ship business.Nachdem Ports Of Call nach sovielen Jahren bzw. sogar Jahrzehnten immer noch beliebt ist und sich zu einem echten klassischen Spiel entwickelt hat ist es Zeit mal hinter die Kulissen zu blicken. Die Entwicklung des Spiels von den ersten Scripten, den ersten spielbaren Programm, und die Entwicklung der grafischen Oberfläche sind Inhalt des Buches. Hier wird auch gezeigt wie man systematisch ein erfolgreiches Computerspiel entwickeln kann, daher bietet das Werk auch für Spieleprogrammierer wertvolle Hinweise und Methoden.Bei den Scripten von der ersten Idee, ersten Bildern bis zu den entgültigen Bildern findet man hier viele Informationen. Die Evolution von der Idee zum fertigen im Spiel kann man hier nachverfolgen.Auch die Weiterentwicklung des Klassikers mit POCXXL, dem Simulator POCSIM3D/3DI wird kurz angedeutet, doch die ausführliche Version würde den Inhalt sprengen. Ein Blick auf den Codeteil und dessen History dürfte auch viele Spieleentwickler interessieren, wie auch Tips und Tricks, mit vielen Fragen wie zum Beispiel der Schiffsbrüchige gerettet wird, oder wie man effizient Gewinne erwirtschaften kann. Es wird auch gezeigt wie der Wettersimulator im Hintergrund als wichtiges Element arbeitet.
