MacFungus is a game where players on a grid have to eat each other's tiles to win.
Network code is forthcoming.
How to I play this game?
It's easy. First go in File > Start New Game.
There, you will be able to choose the number of players in the game, aswell as their name and color. When you're done, press the Start New Game button.
You will then be presented with the game grid with each player that you configured on the board.
The first player is always the one to start. He will receive a randomly generated shape in the lower right corner. He can then click where he wants to apply the shape on the gaming grid. A player can only apply the shape where it touches a square of his own color.
- If a player sandwiches an opponent's tile between two of his own, the player gains control of that tile and it switches to his color.
- If a player cuts another player in two parts, the part not connected to the head gets destroyed.
- If a player gets his head eaten, he loses the game.
- When a player is the only one left, he wins the game.
What are bites and how do I use them?
A bite allows use to destroy another player's tile that is adjacent to yours.
To use a bite, simply press the Use Bite Button and bite your opponent.
