Block Wars?/DesignDocument

Name: Block Wars

Type: Total Conversion

Outline: Block wars is based on a game by Games Workshop set in the Judge Dredd universe. In Block Wars, the objective is to completely destroy the enemies building. In order to do this you must deal enough damage to each floor so that the entire building collapses. In order to deal enough damage to a floor to cause it to collapse, you must destroy all rooms on that floor. When a room (or floor) collapses, no character may enter it. The 2 buildings will be connected through any various number of ways.

MythOpus: Nice idea, It'll take some time to code however... what will the spray paint do in the game though? I might start coding for this soon

MythOpus: Oopsies ! I don't think you should have it on this page. It might confuse people IMO you should make it a subclass of your personal page or move this to the ModIdeas page

Dragonmaw: Yeah I need to set it as a subclass. The Spray Paint ingame will, when used, cause a selectable image to appear on the surface you are spraying on. And it would be great if you could help code, since I only know basic code. I'm more of a modeller/mapper than anything.
