Description

Game play takes place on a 2D battlefield with some obstacles. Each player (2 to 6 computer or human) has an army of particles and a cursor. The objective of the game is to assimilate all enemy particles. The players can only move their cursors and cannot directly control the particles. Each particle follows the shortest path around the obstacles to its team's cursor. Pathfinding is a term used mostly by computer applications to plot the best route from point A to point B A player may have up to several thousands particles at a time, giving the collection of particles a look of a liquid blob. When a particle moves into a particle from a different team, it will fight and if the opponent particle fails to fight back (it is not moving in the opposite direction) it will eventually be assimilated by its attacker. Assimilation is the process of taking digested food which is circulating the body and then using it to help rebuild cells As particles cannot die but only change teams the total number of particles on the map remains constant. Since a particle can only fight in one direction at a time (towards its team's cursor), a player that surrounds its opponents will have a distinct advantage. The game ends when one player controls all of the particles or when the time runs out. When the time runs out the player with the most particles wins.

The are multiple maps which affect the obstacles in the battlefield. These obstacles may affect the strategies of the game.

History

The Liquid War shortest path algorithm was invented by Thomas Colcombet before the game itself. The game came as a result of the algorithm, when he realized its applicability to gaming. Colcombet friend, Christian Mauduit enhanced the algorithm and coded the game.
