Gold Monopoly!

Post by Geowizard » Mon Aug 24, 2026 9:18 pm

Hey Guys and Gals,

Let's have some fun! :)

Lets roll the dice and play a game! It's called "Gold Monopoly"!

It's free! That's the fun part of playing old school Monopoly! You start with a pile of cash and roll the dice. Gold Monopoly is the same game only it's gold deposits! :D

Who's in?

We need to design a game board like Monopoly uses. I need a few ideas!

We can play right here on the Forum with approval of the owner(s) and moderators.

Random number generator for dice. Timer for each move!

A game of chance;


in a game of random chance, a random number generator is needed. The random numbers seen in a "roll of the dice" can be simulated in a simple software program.

I write software in Power Basic a recently obsoleted Integrated Development Environment.

It looks like this:
==========================
#COMPILE EXE
#DIM ALL
FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG
DIM a AS STRING
'=========================
top:
PRINT INT (RND(1,6))
PRINT
PRINT INT (RND(1,6))
INPUT "go again (y/n)?"; a
IF a = "y" THEN GOTO top
END FUNCTION
=======================

' This program prints two random numbers from 1 to 6 (or 2 to 12).

There's a random chance of striking pay.
There's a random chance of profit.
landing on a property costs a random fee. pay to mine?
There's a random gold recovery.
Other random variable come into play! :)
