Tuxigloo
News
I redesigned the game. The communication between the server and the client was much lighter and I used SDL for the graphics routines so that it would run under both Un*x and Windows. However my hard drive crashed (physically) and the versions I backed up were from a month ago :-(. Well, that will serve me as a lesson but I decided to discontinue the project.
Abstract
On icebergs, some big webfooted birds are trying to find their way home while avoiding to be eaten by evil bears.
Characters and items
- The pengouins are naughty animals. They give beer to bears to make them drunk, so he can escape from them.
- The bears is very good to relieve the world of stupid penguins.
- The otaries help the penguins which offer in return a glass of beer. For example, he can bring 20 penguins to an igloo, or send some bears to other igloos.
- The Igloo is the place where every penguin has to go. If a bear gets in the igloo then it eats third of the penguins which are in.
- Arrows: The penguins and the bears are so drunk that they cannot find their way to the igloos without them.
Goal
Tuxigloo is a multi-player game. Every player has an igloo and its goal is to bring as many penguins as he can in his igloo. In addition, he can send the bears to other igloos.
