Context and Problem Statement

We need a demo of our work.

Describe the proposed option and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Make a game out of having two groups attack each other.

Design

  1. Create two groups: mass A and mass B
  2. Implement pathfinding for both groups to find each other
  3. Add avoidance behavior to prevent collisions between group members
  4. Implement attack functionality when groups are in range
function createGroups() {
  massA = createGroupA();
  massB = createGroupB();
}

function update() {
  pathfind(massA, massB);
  pathfind(massB, massA);

  avoidance(massA);
  avoidance(massB);

  attack(massA, massB);
  attack(massB, massA);
}

Additional features for the test

  1. Can use WebAssembly (WASM) scripting
  2. In-game tablet drag to place objects

Positive Consequences

  • We are able to use V-Sekai easier.

Negative Consequences

  • We cannot get other features in.

Option graveyard

  • Option: The status quo.
  • Rejection Reason: This solves nothing.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

This is an integration test.

Is there a reason why this should be core and done by us?

It helps us focus.
