Game description

The following is a more detailed description of TEMBLOR-ball.

TEMBLOR is an American word for "earthquake" and is (here) an acronym of Total, Entire, Monstrous, Bad Lack Of Rules. This is exactly how this game is thought to be (almost).

Overview

TEMBLOR-ball is a mix of rugby and fighting and goes off like this:

• In principle there can be an infinite number of teams with an infinite number of players on each team on the field (the number of teams and players are decided by the user).
• The field is an equilateral polygon with as many sides as teams. Each team 'owns' one side of the polygon: The 'borderline' of the team.
  If there's only 2 teams, a square will be used and each team get either 1 or 2 sides each depending on the choise of the user.
• There is 1 ball. Not 42 balls but 1 ball. 1 shall be the number of balls in the game.
• The aim of the game is to take the ball and run over the opponents borderline. If you succeed, the opponent team loses a point (of course the user has the opportunity to use only a part of the sides of the field as goal). If a team loses all its points, it's out of the game. When there's only one team left the game is over (and the remaining team has won, actually). If there's a time limit and the time runs out, the winner is the team with the most remaining point or the team that has taken most points from the other teams (depending on the type of game selected by the user).
  It is also possible to play without the princip of decreasing points, so a team instead gets a point by making a goal. Of course the time limit is mandatory in this case.
  So there's four ways to play:
  1. Decreasing score / no time limit (last remaining team wins)
  2. Decreasing score / time limit / highest remaining score (or last remaining team) wins
  3. Decreasing score / time limit / most goals (or last remaining team) wins
  4. Increasing score (time limit, highest score (i.e. most goals) wins)
  Of course there's no practical difference between no. 2 and 3 if there's only 2 teams.
• You have the opportunity to make use of all sorts of weapons, special-moves (as in fighting games) and violent behaviour in the game. In the first versions, you'll only be able to punch, but I hope to add the rest.

The following will never come true. It's too complicated for me, but it was the idea, when I started the project.

List of miscellaneous something

• Multiplayer support.
• Nice sounds and graphics (you'll see why I mention this when you see the game).
• Optional commentator (a former soccer-commentator and a piranha-fish constantly arguing and talking about things that don't neccessarily have anything to do with the game and never what happens in the game at the moment).
• En elg, der hedder Albert.
• Game music will be your own cd's or mp3/ogg-files (heavy metal recommended).
• ...and many other things I forgot to mention.

This was the original idea, but forget it: It's too complicated for me.
