Kiddy Cartel: The Rules and Specifications
Since Kiddy Cartel is a massively-multiplayer game, each player will be controlled by a human; there will be no computer players. Once you have created a neighborhood to control you will be given a stock of lemonade and a stock of cookies. You will also be given one lawn mower so you can generate more money. You will start off with $300 and 50 turns.
The object of the game is to get as many resources and as much money as possible. To do this you will need to create lemonade stands, bake cookies, mow lawns, spy, and take over other neighborhoods. There are three main rules that apply to the coding of this game.
Turns – A certain number of turns will be generated for a player each hour. Players can stockpile turns for as long as they want.
Resource Generators – You will need to generate resources. Each resource generator is able to generate a specified amount of resources.
Actions – This is the heart of the game. Each action will take a number of turns. An action can require a number of resources or a number of minions.
To play this game you will need some sort of interface. You will be using forms to execute all the actions in the game. You can see the interface that will be used for the game in Fig-ure 11.1. Take a look at the actions the player can perform during the course of the game.
