Another 4 hours into HexTactics and I have a playable prototype build ready!

For the technically inclined, here’s a quick list of features implemented so far:

• Basic path finding (using A* of course, thank you Aron Granberg!)
• Controllable Wizard Unit w/Fireball spell
• Collapsible bridges
• Walls and Castle structures

I think I’m going to like this project…

Alex and I decided to have a quick competition this weekend.  A mini game Jam between friends if you will, primarily involving physics based destruction in some way.  I didn’t think it was going to happen, but he decided to take the challenge, so I at least had to work on something.

So here’s what I came up with in the last 2 hours or so.  I may not have much time to work on it this weekend, but it’s fun anyway.  The concept is a Physics based Tactical RPG [turn based], played out on a hexagonal grid, with different types of units and interactive/dynamic terrain and obstacles.
