Most of you are probably familiar with this little mini game right at the beginning of the Asura starting region. Two remotely-controlled Golems are fighting each other on a 3×3 grid. Because I like this simple, but also funny game principle. I’ve started to implement the is an pure html5, javascript and CSS web game. If you want to test a first version, you can do this here, but notice: this is only a first beta so it could contain some little bugs.
(Notice: Because I havn’t enough time at the moment, this is only a quick summary of the original post in the german forums here. which will be extended and improved in the future)
How to play:
At the top navigation bar you can switch the background image for the game grid (you can find a list of awesome guild wars 2 concept art here, which will be extended in the future), the texture pack (at the moment only a very basic version available, but you can also create you one texturepack) and the language of the game.
At the 3×3 grid you see the beginning blue golem 1 and the red golem 2. The peak symbolize the current orientation of the golem. On top of them you can see the health bar.
If it is you turn, you can move your golem with the buttons at the bottom or by pressing 1 – 5 on your keyboard as you would do it ingame.
Right to the grid, you find the options, where you set a bot for the 2nd goelm (symbolized as round figure without orientation). For this you have to restart the game with the button at the end of the options.
On unbeatable you are unable to win against the AI. But this doesn’t mean, that your are kitten to lose. But either that or a rage quit because of an endless sequence of turns will happen after a period of time ;-)
Normal will basically the same, but I’ve forbidden the bot to scrip turn, so you can now win.
On Easy the bot makes random turns, so this mode is for beginners only.
You see, all 128×128 px cells are in the same png file on a 4×3 grid
You can know edit into each cell your imagination of a golem (or whatever you want to do in your texturepack), but be carefull to stay each time in the right 128×128 px cell and keep the function of each cell (empty cell, bot, nothing, nothing – golem 1 locking up, right, down, left – golem 2 locking up, right, down, left)
If you are ready save your 512×384 px png and send it here to me (reply, pm…) with an title, your nickname and everything else I should add in the publication of your Texturepack
Github:
Additionally you can contribute in each form (bug reports, suggestions, texturepacks, locale packs …) at my github project
Add your translation with the pattern: “original English text”: “your translated text” (pleas keep the " and if you don’t want to translate a line, remove them, so it fall back to the English version)
Send it here to me (reply, pm…) with your nickname for the publication
