HTML5 Angular JS hexagon game. Game is a proof of concept for making a hex version of mine sweeper.
PROJECT BRIEF
We were trying to come up with some mini-games that might be fun to add to an existing project, and thought what about a game where you have to search a maze, and you have to worry about security guards? A bunch of ideas later, we thought about starting with a mine sweeper type game, but using a hex map.
The POC was fun to create, but the game itself does not work as well as mine sweeper. With the addition of gold squares, the searching information is actually too great. Because you know about safe hexes and danger hexes, you know a lot about the hexes, and the game is very simple to play. Perhaps because it is designed for younger students it would still be fun. But the more likely case is that we need to add more elements to the game to make it more fun.
