Good morning/afternoon/evening/night!
While I should be studying for the test week, which I'm in the middle of right now, I figured it'd be the best timing to work on a new game: SET.
For those of you who have never played Set:
Set is a game with 81 different cards. Every card has symbols on them, showing 4 properties with 3
options per property. These properties are:
- Amount of Symbols: One, Two, Three
- Shape of the Symbols: Square, Circle, Triangle
- Color of the Symbols: Red, Green, Blue
- Filling of the Symbols: Filled, Slightly Transparent, Empty
15 cards are laid on the table (or screen or whatever...).
The point of the game is to find sets of 3 cards on which every property is either the same (e.g. [Blue - Blue - Blue]) or completely different (e.g. [Red - Blue - Green]).
[Blue - Green - Blue] however would be invalid, since not every color is the same (Blue != Green) and neither are they all different (Blue = Blue).
Let's say, if the Amounts are the same ([1 - 1 - 1]) and the Shape, Color and the Filling are different on every card ([Triangle, Circle, Square] [Green, Blue, Red] [Slightly Transparent, Filled, Empty]), then this set would be valid and the cards would be replaced with 3 others.
When playing with more people, the goal of the game is to obtain as many sets als possible before all cards are already obtained. When playing this game however, the goal is to relax a little why puzzling (possibly with a timer counting down later).
If you have played Set, I'm happy for you, because you don't rely on this horrible explanation.
The game might look close to finishing, but I have to add some stuff, like a proper menu and probably a few gamemode's. I'll also have to test it a lot, and like I stated before, I still need to work on school, but I don't think it'll take too long.
(By the way, this on is written in C, in contrast to my previous projects.)

When do you plan to release it?
