• There cant be more than 3 spaces to the nearest wall etc.

A thanks for playing message should appear when the player has 100 ants. This message should congratulate the user, and maybe show some stats about how long it took.

The game will consist of two seperate parts. Only the first part will be focues on for the jam. The second part might be made for the extra.

City builder

• Square marching for digging out caves
• Several layers of buildings
• A building may take up several layers, for example a staircase
• Building types:
  • Food chambers
  • Farms
  • Queens chamber
  • Pupae chamber
  • Graveyard
  • Training grounds
• Ant upgrades
• Ant types
  • builders
  • farmers
  • workers
  • soldiers
  • queen
• Requires ant combat power to defend the anthill
• Random events
  • Predators (human children)
  • water dammage
  • winter (less food)

Ant war

• Borrow many of the concepts from the city builder
• Escape from an ant farm, or battle against another anthill
• Send some ants out for gathering ressources
• Send others out to fight or escape from the antfarm

Ant types

Each type of ant has 2 different states.

• Active: The amount of ants that are currently active and working.
• Idle: The amount of idle ants that are not currently working.

Queens

An anthill can only have one queen, the queen lays eggs and is responsible for the well being of the entire colony.
$consumption=10food/min$

Farmer ants

Farmer ants produce food, they require a farm chamber to do so.
$consumption=1food/min$
$production=30food/min$

Worker ants

Worker ants build the colony by digging and placing dirt. You require worker ants to maintain what is already built aswell.
$consumption=3food/min$
$maintainable_{tiles}=10$

Soldier ants

Soldier ants help protect the colony from outside threats. Only necessary once there is an outside thread.
$consumption=2food/min$
$combat=1$

Buildings

Queens lair

You start the game with one queens lair, you can have only one queens lair, and the size of the lair determines how fast you can create ants.
$ants/m = tiles$

Farm chamber

Can produce food for the colony.
$production=45food/tiles$

Larvae chamber

TBD: Probably some kind of upgrade

Residential chamber

A place for ants to sleep and rest. Required to make more ants.
$ant_{capacity}=5/tile$

Flying practice

A place for soldier ants to practice flying.
$combat_{multiplier}=1/tiles$

Equations

$ants_{idle}=queens_{idle}+farmers_{idle}+workers_{idle}+soldiers_{idle}$
$ants_{active}=queens_{active}+farmers_{active}+workers_{active}+soldiers_{active}$
$ants_{total}=ants_{idle}+ants_{active}$
$total_{tiles}=queen_{tiles}+farm_{tiles}+larvae_{tiles}+residential_{tiles}+flying_{tiles}$

$food_{consumption}=10\cdot queens_{active}+1\cdot farmers_{active}+3\cdot workers_{active}+2\cdot soldiers_{active}+1\cdot ants_{idle}$
$food_{production}=min(30\cdot farmers_{active}, 45\cdot farm_{tiles})$
$ant_{production}=1\cdot queen_{tiles}$
$ant_{capacity}=5\cdot residential_{tiles}$
$combat_{power}=flying_{tiles}\cdot(1\cdot soldiers_{active})$
$tile_{capacity}=10\cdot(workers_{idle}+workers_{active})$
