Aim

Take control of the whole map by taking out the other teams. Strategically build up your armies and try to hold continents to increase the number of soldiers you receive at the start of your turn. This game can be played with 2-4 computer players.

This was my first big project with a few big challenges like building the computer players. The AI works on a set of basic rules giving the impression that it knows what it’s doing. Its functionality is built on a string of recursive functions.

There's still a tonne of stuff I want to add and haven’t got around to yet (including some bug fixes), a few below:

• Graphics
  The game currently consists of boxes fighting each other, kind of dull. I want to add soldiers that have fighting, killing and dying animations giving the game more life. Or just numbers.
• Improved Computer Player
  As mentioned the current AI works and follows a set of basic rules, regardless of what the other players do. I want it to follow a set of principles rather than rules allowing it to change tactics depending on the situation, making it more unpredictable.
• Prediction Algorithm
  To do the above I need to build a prediction algorithm to calculate win/loss probabilities of certain battle situations. I could add a feature giving the player the ability to calculate the chance of winning a battle, maybe once a turn or trade a soldier for 10 uses etc. something like that.
• For Developers and/or Nerds
  I’ve managed to figured out the equations to calculate 1v1, 1v2, 2v1 and 2v2 battles in RISK already. I couldn’t calculate the equation to find the probability of a 3v2 battle. Google knows what probabilities are, but not the equation (not that I need it once I know the probability). If you know what the equation is, casually as you do, let me know. You can submit feedback in the feedback tab.
• Dice Roll
  I think it would be nice if we could see what we rolled so I'd like to add some dice animations.

There are even more things I want to add like a death laser (literally), but I’ll stop here before I get too carried away.

Aim

Stop the creeps from reaching your base! Creeps will follow the path around the map making their way to your base, where they are trying to steal your stuff, sneaky creeps. Build towers on the tiles to shoot them down before they reach the end. Warning its quite hard, so be prepared.

This was one of the first games I ever made, definitely a learning project and a relatively simple and basic game.

• Target Lock
  The towers shoot at their closest target, which changes rapidly as the creeps move across the map causing the towers to flicker constantly re-targeting enemies. This is inefficient code requiring each tower to recalculate the possible targets each frame, 50-60 times a second. The towers should target the creep closest to the player’s base within their range, a more conventional (and efficient) way to do it.
• Tower Types
  There are 2 tower types each with an upgrade option, which is not very much. I'd like to expand the tower types to include things such as a short range, rapid fire tower; a slow firing, splash damage tower and a low damage, slowing tower. Expanding the upgrade options giving the player multiple choices could add another strategic element to the game. And yes, I also need to make the process of upgrading simpler.
• More Waves!
  We need more waves! Maybe add an endless mode?

Currently in development.
