FoamWars


We have here another entry for our summer coding competition co-sponsored with Lik-Sang - FoamWars Beta 1 by Birddog">Birddog. From the looks of the image, you may have an idea what the game is all about. But for the sake of those who hasn't figure it out, FoamWars is actually a non-violent deathmatch game based from the Quake engine.

Non-violent deathmatch, is that possible? Birddog's creation made it a possibility since instead of using guns, you'll be using foam shooting toys which was inspired by Nerf toys. The object of the game is still the same - to win the match by fragging your opponents the most times. Plus the atmosphere of the game is also a bit lighter, which brighter colours and playful weapons.

So far it features four weapons, foam sword, ball shooter, cup shooter, and an arrow launcher. It has one map (for now). To get to know the game better, don't hesitate the readme file that comes with the download. Good job, Birddog! And we wish you the best of luck.

You should watch out for the compilation of all the competition entries and the opening of our polls to see which is the most popular among readers. Lastly, you could also leave out your opinions, reactions and other what-nots in the comments section.

This looks like a direct mod of the PSP Quake.

I thought all entries had to be new and not mods?

Yeah, it does look like a mod.

I guess games created with that custom 3d engine and Iris shouldn't be eligible either?

So we go around shooting Nerf-like guns at each other...

It's doesn't sound too bad.

how do you fight enemies? its just one level with no computer enemies to fight it seems.

   by BirddoG - 2006-08-27

Strangler, its only multiplayer, so you either have to play against another person on their psp, or play agains someone on the computer. I only have the singleplayer in there to preview the map.

how do you connect to other player sonline? and are there bots?

   by BirddoG - 2006-08-27

if you want to play online, you would have to get the ip address of the player you want to play, best way to do this is talking to them through msn etc. then both of you launch the game, in the multiplayer menu, connect to your wireless access point, one player starts a new game, then other player joins that game by entering the ip address of the other person.

no bots yet, but its in the works.
