Mind Trial is a trivia game that I developed in Java at Georgia Tech back in 1999. The starting screen allows players to enter their names and choose a difficulty level. The player’s name displays during the game, but the difficulty level was never implemented. Each player rolls the die and moves the number of spaces according to the roll.
Once the player lands on a space, the player must answer a question based on that space’s color. The category colors are: green for science, blue for math, red for language, yellow for geography, brown for history, and orange for current events. If the player answers the question correctly, then they get to roll again. If the player answers the question correctly on a pie piece space, then the player acquires a pie piece of that color. The objective is to collect six pie pieces of each color. Once all are collected, the player must move back to the enter space with the “MT” logo and answer a question correctly from a random category. Credit goes to Chris Ingram for making the questions and the rest of the GUIS team (Duy and Jamie) for project documentation.
The MetroPulse entertainment paper interviewed Levi D. Smith and other members of the Knoxville Game Design group, which was published in the January 2014 edition of the paper. The seven page article gives our thoughts on the current Indie Game community, and describes our participation in the Ludum Dare 28 competition.
Marching Band Simulator is a game where you take control of a marching band. In the current release, you are given 52 marchers playing instruments such as trombone, tuba, trumpet, saxophone, flute, clarinet, snare drum, and bass drum.
There are six selectable formations for your marching band. Click the buttons on the right side of the screen to see your marching band make the Square, Triangle, Diamond, Line, Curve, and Circle formations.
The volume of each instrument can be controlled using the buttons on the right side of the screen.
The uniform color can be changed by clicking the water dropper icon. Choose from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and gray uniform color.
There are four selectable songs that your band can play by pressing the note icon.
Five selectable camera positions are available for viewing your band. Get views from the left side of the field, the right side of the field, overhead, on the sideline. You can also get a up close view of one of your marchers.
