Tower of Voronoi by andrebeton

[raw]
made by andrebeton for LD27 (COMPO)
This is a two player game. You fight for territory. After ten seconds a winner is chosen based on how you placed your markers.

To set a marker you have to push your button:
Player 1: "A"
Player 2: "L"

Start the game from a terminal with "java -jar tower.jar" after you unzipped the archive and put the "res"-folder and the "tower.jar" into the same folder. JRE 7 is needed to play the game.

This is a really interesting concept for a game. The biggest problem for me was how unpredictable the location of the line was, so I couldn't really plan what I was going to do ahead of time.

I cannot play the game (Ubuntu 13.04).

rephus: you probably use an older version of the java runtime environment. you need version 7.0

As someone who doesn't know how Voronoi decomposition works, the area is somewhat unpredictable. An intereresting concept however. Should probably read about the algorithm a bit. Btw, although it says "Linux" on the download, it works on my Windows machine (well, it's Java after all), so it's a bit misleading.

Same, just say java instead of linux.

The music does get annoying what feels like it's 50th loop. ;) Some techno would be much better than the country. :)

Didn't play it with another player but I get the idea... a very nice idea.

Even if I know what a Voronoi diagram is, the game was still mostly left to random because of the marker-placing line.
I think the issue is that the theme does not fit the game quite well (the Voronoi game is better played turn-by-turn, at least by my experience).
On a totally unrelated note, I went through you source code to find which way you implemented the Voronoi diagram, but I was not able to find it. Which one did you choose ?

Interesting concept, would be fun to play with someone and see what tactics you could come up with.

It is working on Windows 7 64 bit as well. You should change the description of download link.
