| OutFoxxed! |
OutFoxxed! (latest revision: 2004/12/18)
Designed and developed by Matt Slaybaugh, Joe Versoza, Isabel Staicut, and Dave Maccarella
OutFoxxed! is a two-player game using Flash Communications Server that combines elements of Rock-Paper-Scissors with traditional board games such as Checkers and Go

| Gladiator |
Gladiator (latest revision: 2004/05/10)
Designed and developed by Matt Slaybaugh, Wontae Kim, and Joey Silayan
Gladiator is a one-player game with a core mechanic of having to collect spent arrows before being able to fire again.

| Gladiator Concept Realizations |
WolfHunter
This first version is weak in gameplay, primarily because the AI is too rigid and the number of user-choices on any turn is too limited.
It's also almost impossible to win.
WolfHunter II: Catalaunian Fields
This second version has a much larger board, which opens up the number of choices too much, resulting in a lot of meaningless clicking. This version is too easy.
WolfHunter III: Wittgenstein's Revenge
This penultimate version has an appropriate board-size and more challenging play. An uncaught bug/feature allows multiple wolves in any given space, making it difficult to win.
|
| IceBreaker Concept Realizations |
IceBreaker never made it past the concept-realization phase, but it has potential to be a decent game.
Icebreaker
This first version explores the idea of using a Sokoban-style game mechanic against a static, firing enemy AI. It's tricky to win, but possible, mostly an element of timing rather than strategy.
Icebreaker II
This second version has a mobile enemy AI and more stratgic options
Icebreaker III
The final study of the block-pushing mechanic against an enemy AI offers the most strategy, but suffers in the same way as the second in that choices are limited.

Ant Farm
I later learned of a number of similar games, but this was my first effort at employing multiple 'cellular automata'-style agents.
Ant Farm
The same game with an auto-generated music feature that is somewhat interesting.
Defender
An experiment in porting the classic Atari game Defender in a slightly different context.
