Gorge
Gorge(©Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Dr. sc. nat Klaus Peter Jantke) is a round based board game I developed at the Fraunhofer IDMT for an internship and afterwards as a research assistant. The game contains up to 4 teams, with four robots on each team. The team can be controlled by a player or by an artificial intelligence that can be configured in detail. Thus, the player can create very aggressive opponents that actively disturb the other players or more peaceful and passive opponents. The game is mainly created for children to find out which kind of opponent they prefer, but also serves to answer many different research questions.
The development was interesting from a technical perspective as well. In the first few months I created a Silverlight Version with C# with isometric graphics. In my work as a research assistant this version was ported to Unity3D. Even when Silverlight used a slightly different API than the normal .NET API, most of the code could be reused. For different parts of the API such as timers, it was easy to create wrappers so that both versions could rely on the same code base.
