Php-Multiplayer, persistent, territory Sconquering game

Gameplay overview

This is a team based game

The purpose is for each team to claim as much territory as possible

Territory is represented as a 10x10 grid

The game will be persistent because players can log out and continue playing (the game state though may change during this time due to actions taken by other players)

Basic mockups are attached for reference

Gameplay details

Sign Up-------------

-A player must sign up with a unique user name

-Can pick either red, green or yellow team

-After signup, player will be logged in and will land on gameplay screen

-Log in with player name and password

Log Out-----------

When the player logs out, take them to a landing page for the game.

Gameplay screen

For the first time that a player logs in they will land on any random cell

Their location is shown by the purple image (you can replace this with an icon sized image to improve the look and feel of the game)

The background color of a cell shows the team which owns the territory

Cells owned by no-one are blue (all will be blue at the start, as you continue playing over time, blue cells will disappear; since the game is supposed to be persistent, the blue cells will not come back via gameplay once gone)

Player movement

The player can move to another cell by clicking on it

The movement response should be implemented using Ajax so it appears instantaneously

The move information needs to be sent to the backend so changes in territory ownership can be made if needed (and then reflected to each user)

Territory ownership

Territory ownership

A players team can take over a cell if the number of their teams ships on location is greater than the number of ships belonging to the other teams. Ties are broken by arrival time, a later arrival time wins over an earlier one. Some test cases are given below

-3 yellow and 1 red is owned by yellow

-1 red only is owned by red

-2 red and 2 blue, owned by whichever color has reached there last

Note that if, e.g., a green player is sitting on a blue cell alone, and then moves to another cell, the original cell will remain under green ownership until another color ship lands there

Status Panel

One panel on will show details

In addition, hovering a cursor over a cell will show the names of the players on the spot in a tooltip (shown on first two colored cells in the mockup)

Chat Panel

Another Panel for chat
