Title: Test Game Map Mechanics
Post by: Peacemaker on September 28, 2007, 04:42:21 AM: http://www.sgamers.com/maptest/MapTest.htm (http://www.sgamers.com/maptest/MapTest.htm) This links to a page I set up for testing the mechanics of the game maps for Hex brand games.

The page allows you to select a map then select a player and then an area on the map to see how it reacts. when you select a player the map becomes fogged, which I call "uncharted territory" at Strategy Gamers. Two additional controls at the bottom, designed specifically for color blind members, allow a player color to be selected so as to stand out from the others. The first method dulls the other colors while the second method removes the armies values from all other colors. A second click on one of the color icons returns the map to normal. One or both of these methods will also be used to identify map regions (continents).

The feedback I'm looking for is mainly load speed for each type of action. Anything else useful would also be appreciated.

Thanks a million,
Peacemaker

I did as you told me, I'm such a good girl :D

Load speed was great, the map instantly respnded to any action I chose. If I had any intelligence at all I would have a clue about how the game works and then could give you more feedback ??? Please let me play ;D
