I am considering doing a port to the Macintosh of a tactical simulation
board game. What features would YOU like to see the computer handle for you
in a game that was adapted from a board game? For example, the game I am
looking at doing has a fairly strict order in which actions occur and a
highly structured turn sequence to ensure that things cannot happen out of
order. I was planning on taking all that and "internalizing" in the program
so that the user would not need to worry about it. Also, would you like to
see a game where the computer plays the opponent, or would you like to see
one where the computer merely acts as an impartial referee?

I would be interested in any comments anyone has on these subjects.
