Qoruino

Hello every one !

I think I will start a new game project that is to adapt Quoridor to the gamebuino.

This game can be play 1v1 or 1v1v1v1. I think the hardest part of this project is to dev the IA.

I have two questions :
Can I use the name Quoridor or do I have to change it for Quoruino :p ?
What do you think about this adaptation ?

Here are the basic graphisms I've done :

I haven't heard of this game ever, but it seems cool. You porobably might not have to change the name to Quoruino, because it's just a "fan-project" per-say.

That is a nice looking board game and a good adaption! :-)

I was bored and made a few isometric doodles. Sadly it looses all aesthetic appeal of the wooden board and is not as recognizable with the low screen resolution. Here it is anyway:

Superb Marcus! Maybe add some dither to it?
All studies look great as they are.

Wow, in fact the isometric vision is much better. But I think it don't fit in the screen. The question is, would you like to play this game ? I'm agree that the wood is better, but here it's just a way to spend some time :)

So... I tried, and it definitely don't work well on the 84x48px screen. So I'll keep my design, taking some piece of your if you are agree of course Marcus ;)

Hi,

the design is made to fit into the 84x48 screen resolution, what is the problem? :-)
But 2D is much easier to recognize as the screen resolution of the Gamebuino is a bit low to make it detailed enough.
If you can use any of the graphics feel free to use them.

I love strategy games, but have no Gamebuino - yet. :-)

@Erico: Thanks! I experimented with dithering but it made it less recognizable due to the small details, but I am not the best at dithering. :-)
One thing I could try is lower walls so the fields behind them are better visible.
