More Information About the Project
Project Overview
The Chain Reaction Game is a strategic, turn-based multiplayer game where players place orbs on a grid. The goal is to dominate the board by creating chain reactions, making for dynamic and unpredictable gameplay.
Gameplay Mechanics
- Grid-based Gameplay: Players place orbs in cells, which explode once they reach a limit, distributing orbs to neighboring cells and potentially setting off further reactions.
- Chain Reactions: Players can plan for chain reactions to strategically shift control of the board.
- Turn-based Multiplayer: Supports multiple players, each taking turns, with the game ending when a player achieves total control by eliminating other players' orbs.
Technical Details
- Programming Language: JavaScript
- Framework: Custom game logic
- Algorithms: Optimized to handle chain reactions efficiently
- Data Structures: Efficient handling of grid state and orb counts
