Hello!
A week ago I came up with a game/simulation. Ant Colony . The main point of the game is too invade CPU colonies (and/or) other player's colonies! If you want some basic info on the game plans, here is some info about it.

Resources

Food. Food can be gathered from ‘empty’ spaces in the map.
Pebbles. Pebbles can be ‘mined’ from the ground with Worker Ants for construction,
Dust Bits. These can be mined from ‘sandy’ areas near human houses.

Buildings

Human houses. Rarity: Common
Colony building: Nursery. You get this building inside your colony when you start. Purpose: Houses baby ants.
Colony building: Mine. Cost: 3 pebbles, 5 dust bits. This building increases pebbles & dust bit collection by 20%. You can only build 5.

Plants

Food Plant. Your normal food plant. It gets 5 food on harvest (10 seconds)
Grass. It sounds weird, but this is a ‘forest’ to the ants, meaning these are trees in the game. It does nothing. You can clear it out and get more space.
Sugar Drop. These are extremely rare and on harvest (2 seconds) speeds up EVERYTHING by 50%.

Jobs

• Art:
  
• Backdrop
  
• Logo
  
• Thumbnail
  
• Ants
  
• Buildings/Resources/Plants
  
  
• Coder
  
• Manager
  

  A description: The Manager job simply gives out assignments and can kick inactive collaboration members. If they do this too often they will be fired.

  
  

I can help as a coder on one condition. Is the simulation endless in some way?

Yes, kind of. Also you are accepted.

I am interested! Could I be a manager? Also, I can make a group for us, if you like.

Bump.

Sure!

Dude quote so people know you are talking to them.

What different types of ants are there?

I'm not very experienced, but I'd love to give it a try! I can try to be a coder.

It's being decided, but the ‘need’ ants are Worker, male ant, and female worker. Yes, its sexist. It's nature, but I wanted to make it nonfiction. That was part of the game point

BertMertDert, ok! Part of the point I made no ‘format’ was because I wanted everyone . Not because I forgot. Just pointing it out there!

I would like to join as a coder, along with working on buildings and ants. Will the simulation be one infinite plane of land with CPU colonies dispersed (more like Minecraft), or a small plane of land per CPU colony that you send workers to (more like Clash of Clans, for lack of a better example)?

The first one, but it's multiplayer. But the only words that will be transfered by cloud is the username. Coordinates for the colonies will be non-existance, you see them on a map. It's like clash royale, the only real talking is the username.

It's going to be infinite. You can't win, you just survive or die.

If your queen ant is dead, then you re-start. Your Queen can die from hunger, thirst, or from enemy ants.

OK. Thanks!

I've thrown this… thing… of a scrolling tile engine together, and was wondering if anyone knew why it's particularly bad. Tile engines are one of the few things that boggle the mind with weird abstraction.

I have set up a much better version of the previous peoject, with a world map view! :O

How realistic are you going to make the game?
