QGIS Games

OSM Pong Mockup

Pac Man with Metro Distortion Map

This is about a small project about the development of a game for QGIS (as Python plugin/PyQGIS).

We're currently in incepton phase! Goal is a first release before June 2014!

Here are some initial ideas for brainstorming:

• Quiz
• Pac Man (Arcade style)
  • on generated and self-edited labyrinth
  • a la Metro Distortion Map [1]. (See figure to the right)
• OSM Pong (Arcade style, for two players on one keyboard): Playing inside an OpenStreetMap area; sidetracked ball (aka "coriolis effect") gives higher game level. (See figureto the right).
• Gold Digger
• A gamified enhancement of data capturing and editing, where one gets acoustic feedback and credit points for each added geographic (point, line or polygon) feature ("Serious game" style)
• Adapt a game from GBanga [2]
• Adapt a game from Bitforge [3]
