Flunker World • The Flunker World project is a mobile multiplayer 3d game, based on bluetooth for communication and on insanity for fun.
Flunker World • How many times did you though of hitting the guy next to you with a club? This is the main force that drives us! We want to make available to all people the chance to hit everyone around you. We think that this a right everyone should have. So we made a game.
Flunker World The idea is to make possible for you to hit everyone around you, If you are lucky you can get you boss or even your mother-in-law, think of all the anger you can uncharge in them).
Sphered World • All the action is passed in a sphered world • The sphered arena is a classic from old video-games that we think that fits in the alucinated environment we want to create. • It increments the crazyness, and increases the game possibilities, changing all the physics and giving different game perspectives
Characters • The characters in flunker world are used sports balls that got tired of being beaten by those nasty human players. So, when other fed up balls are available, they start a death match to unleash their anger with each other. Their ultimate wish is to able to invert the roles and play with a human as the ball.
Flunker • Flunker is a major league criquet ball. He is also a major fashion victim. He can´t stand the clothes the criquet players wear, it really get’s him mad, he wants to beat every one of them until they understand the importance of fashion cool clothes. We believe that this is such a stupid reason as any other. So we accepted him in this hall of crazy people.
Pyng-Pong • Pyng pong is a pro tour ping pong ball. He got schizophrenic with all the “ping” and “pong” sounds he himself does. Worst, he don´t know that it’s him doing those sounds. He wants to find the person that is making those sounds, only then he will be able to rest. And because he doesn’t know who is making those noises he decided to beat every one he finds. This way he will definitly find the responsable.
Football • And this is a soccer ball… with a foot. What could be more ironic? He was a football that one day felt that a little bubble was growing in his back. His mom said to him “football don´t scratch it”, but who listen’s to what mummy says? He scratched it like a maniac and it got so infected that a foot growed up. Football didn´t know what to do, and so he asked his mother, and she answered, “well, feet are meant for kicking” and he started kicking everything he saw. He doesn´t know hi, but, hey, footballs are not that smart
Game Characteristics • Close Combat Game
Game Characteristics • Multiplayer
Flunker Networking • How to decide if a device should be a host or a client? • That decision is too complex to be of the responsability of the usual, inexperienced user, it’s a paradigm, and so, not of trivial comprehension • To solve this question a simple algorithim was developed
Host/Client election algorithim • A bluetooth inquiry is made to look up for devices in range • 2 things can happen: • No device running the flunker service is found in range • A device running the flunker service is found
Host/Client election algorithim • If a device running the flunker service is found than that device is considered the host and a server-client connection is established
Host/Client election algorithim • If no device running the flunker service is found than the device itself becames a host
Host/Client election algorithim • Hosting the game means that : • the flunker service will be registered in the device service database • the device itself will be set to discoverable. • By doing so all the flunker inquiry’s made in the range will acuse this device as a host
