The new wargame is now in a playable state. The test map is not fully implemented, so you can only move throughout the western side of it, and there must be three players: Player one is Britain, Player two is France, and Player three is Germany. In the near future I will allow for the first player to decide how many other players to allow in the game - up to a set maximum.

Try out the game (remember, it's in a rough form for now) at http:www.hackworks.net/game/war/ and give some feedback on the Contact page. You will be required to log in to the game with your HackWorks username and password.

The next post will begin to explain how the game logic was implemented and I will give code samples. But for now, try it out and let me know what you think.

Game Notes:

1. The game ends when one player controls all regions

2. Combat strength is based on sheer numbers and combined arms (the best army contains infantry, armor, AND air)

3. To create a new army, reinforce an empty region.

Have fun.
