I've been working on a (nearly useless) utility for Defcon: a Java GUI under which one can customize their gameoptions.txt. I call it NORAD - Normal Operation Redefinition Application for Defcon http://wnivek.home.att.net/norad.png It's not exactly done yet - some features aren't yet implemented (li...

I just got an idea for an alternate world map: Nukeopoly! Take a monopoly board. define the inside of it as ocean. divy up the spaces among the players: Four players would each get the standard properties from each side of the board, plus the matching tax space if applicable. One player would get th...

Are you remembering to take daylight savings into account?
