This document provides a summary of a presentation about game design, mechanics, and programming. It discusses using a simple and intuitive user interface with particle systems. It describes the gameplay as drag and release to conquer with clear objectives. Five unique AI strategies are implemented, along with 21 levels, upgrades, and a single experiment mode. The game was created with Starling, using object-oriented code with over 50 classes and interfaces in ActionScript 3. The mobile version supports BlackBerry Playbook, Android, and iOS.

2. Today I am going to talk about

3. 3 Key Aspects
Game Design
Game Mechanics
Programming

4. Game Design

5. Simple and Intuitive UI

6. Particle System

7. Each Cluster consists of
500 animated particles
Each moving matter consists of
300 animated particles
4000+ particles on a normal level

8. All particles are rendered on the GPU via
Stage3D
for optimum efficiency
Particles can be turned off where GPU
rendering is not supported

9. Game Mechanics

10. Simple Gameplay
Just drag, release, conquer
Easy to learn
Objective is clear and the player knows how to
play after the first 2 levels

11. Challenging AI
5 AI are implemented - one for each matter
type found in the game
Each AI is unique and has it's own strategies

12. Other important elements
21 predefined levels
"Single experiment" mode
Upgrades

13. Programming

14. Made with Starling framework
OO Code (50+ Classes and Interfaces)
Created with FlashBuilder in ActionScript3

15. Mobile Version
BlackBerry Playbook
Android
iOS
