Project Description:
A tower defense game is a simple overhead strategy game where a user builds "towers" (stationary offensive units) to prevent opposing units from reaching a goal. Ours will be a relatively simple implementation, where the opposition will utilize basic path-finding, and where a user can deploy multiple different tower units to stop them.
Features:
At least three tower units with varying capabilities.
At least three offensive units with varying speeds or defenses.
Multiple levels
Simple level editing--maps defined as ASCII "art"
Support for multiple sources, sinks, and paths in a level
Optimal paths are automatically calculated for a given map
Rules:
