AJAX Risk
|
|
AJAX (aka networked DHTML) is a popular subject now, at least among some developers and software organizations, and is most popularized in the Google Maps utility.
Many have used the API for this and made some interesting projects. One recent one, by TehDiplomat, implements the classic board game Risk using Google Maps
The game development is incomplete, and only supports hotseat gameplay for now.
The use of Google Maps is purely gratuitous, in that zooming to get more terrain detail adds nothing to the game (actually inhibits ability to play). Ideally that will change. This could also be a good opportunity to update the rules of Risk, including having a more granular game board with more, smaller territories.
