Description:
KAtoms is a clone of an old Amiga turn-based multiplayer
strategy game for the KDE desktop. It comes with improvements such
as irregular board shapes, AI players, and a scaleable user
interface.
Players take turns to place their atoms on the board, causing
explosions and chain reactions which convert enemy atoms to their
own colour. The object of the game is to overwhelm the board. The
simple rules of the game give rise to complex and unpredictable
reactions which provide interesting gameplay.
How do you play?
Players take turns to place atoms on the grid. The atoms are
placed by clicking on the grid. Different boxes on the grid can
hold different amounts of atoms, depending on how many neighbours
it has. When boxes have too many atoms placed in them they will
explode. Players can only place atoms on empty boxes or boxes
containing atoms of their own colour.
· Corner boxes can hold only one atom before
exploding.
· Side boxes can hold only two atoms before
exploding.
· Middle boxes can hold three atoms before
exploding.
When a box of atoms explodes it adds an atom to each adjacent
box, if the boxes that are filled now exceed the stable limit they
will also explode. This leads to chain reactions, the mastery of
these reactions are the key to the game.
The way to win the game is to be the only player left with
atoms on the grid. When a box of atoms explodes, the atoms in the
adjacent boxes are changed to the current players colour. A win is
acheived by eliminating all enemy atoms in this manner. Once a
player has no atoms left the can make no further moves.
It is important to note that reactions happen in parallel,
making it difficul to predict the result of a large reaction.
Currently there are two styles of play, a normal mode where
each player takes turns until only one player is left, and a
tournament mode where the grid is reset to start a new round when a
player is knoced out.
What's New in This Release:
· AI players and irregular board shapes are now
available.
