RTS Demo

Which originally was going to be a game I made. I have lost the time to make it, so I figured I would quickly polish everything, and release it as a minor demo, in hopes that someone could/would improve it, and make an actual RTS. the only good one that I played was gold guardians (*waits for the flame*), but that gets pretty stale pretty fast, yah know?

if anyone would like to check it out.

Blokus

Has anyone ever played Blokus? It's a great board game, and I think it'd make a fine addition to byond strategy. The thing is, I have never worked with a board game for byond, it's really not my style for coding.

So my question is, if anyone would like to code, I could draw all the necessary pieces for the game, (I really don't there are a whole lot, though.)

For those too lazy too look at the site, or if you can't navigate it (I couldn't, too busy)

The game of Blokus:

Is played with 2-4 people.
There are 4 colors, red, yellow, purplish blue, and green. The players take turns placing pieces on the board. The catch is, the pieces can not be placed adjacent with your already-placed pieces, but they have to be connected diagonally. There are pieces of various sizes, 1 block to (I think) 6 blocks in length, of all different shapes. The goal is to get the most pieces down on the board, until no one can play any pieces.

This game can be played by wins or by scoring.
Wins - duh.
Scoring - when no one can play, everyone counts the TILES that they have left, and the person with the least wins the match. You could easily play games up to 50, 100, 200, etc. if you're looking for a few games. Chances are, a game to 100 would probably take 5 hours-ish. One game takes a half hour, on average.

So biology got more interesting

So biology is probably one of the more boring of my classes at high school. Now all my notes are written in DM, to help me learn a bit and kill my boredom, (its only partially dm though..). :P
