Software Description

Brief
The working title of the project is Combat Vehicle Creator, which, once complete, will be a videogame that is ready to be played by its users. To complement the game, another major component is server development, where users can access a website that maintains a database that stores game assets, created by users.

Purpose
The primary purpose for development is for releasing the game to the market in the future, after all assessments of the product and documentation have been done. Through development, the team aims to use the project as a basis for demonstration of physics implementation within a video game. The intention for Combat Vehicle Creator is for it to become a source of entertainment in people’s lives and an opportunity for people to have a an outlet for creativity and stress-relief from their daily lives.

Description of Software Use
At this stage, the plans include implementing the capability for users to create and design their own vehicles, by assembling various available components, as well as being able to download and re-design the creations of other users by accessing the game's website. Once the player has selected, or crafted, their vehicle, they can participate in arena-based gameplay, through active control of their vehicle. There is currently consideration for a ‘spectator’ mode, involving the user writing the artificial intelligence of their vehicle with an intuitive interface. In this mode, the victor will be determined by a clever strategy and planning, rather than by means of player skill.
