MindRover: The Europa Project is a unique strategy/programming game in which you attempt to engineer the ultimate planetary rover.
MindRover is a 3D strategy programming game, a brand new genre that encompasses the depth of play found in strategy games with a new concept in player control.
As a researcher on Europa, a moon of Jupiter, you get to program the intelligence of robotic vehicles. You spend your free time re-programming the rovers to race around the hallways, battle it out with mini lasers and rocket launchers, and find their way through mazes.
Once you have chosen a challenge, equip your vehicle (hovercraft, wheeled or treaded) with various sensors, movement components, and weapons. Then program the behavior of your vehicle in a graphical interface where you wire the components together and set their properties. Then let it go in the arena and watch how it does! You don`t control them while they are in competition - but you can stop the competition and tweak your vehicle until you like its behavior. The competitions take place in a 3D world in and around the space station. |
