Conviértete en una IA que construye y gestiona su propio proveedor de servicios de Internet en esta simulación estratégica relajante. Compra routers, mejora redes de cableado y resuelve atascos de paquetes para ganar dinero con el que investigar y desbloquear tecnología superior. Las partidas transcurren en segundos de tiempo en juego, pero se extienden durante horas en el mundo real, comenzando con una pequeña operación en Inglaterra y creciendo hasta formar una red global.
Este título indie casual se inspira en el algoritmo de Dijkstra para que experimentes con nodos y grafos. Los jugadores aprenden nombres y ubicaciones de ciudades de todo el mundo sobre la marcha. Ideal para nerds pacientes que disfrutan del progreso zen y la construcción reflexiva de redes en PC.
Many years ago, I learned about Dijkstra's algorithm - the fundamental building blocks of how the internet works. I was fascinated by these, and attempted to implement it myself. I had such fun (because I'm quite frankly a massive nerd) messing about with nodes and graphs that I decided to turn it into a game, written using DirectX 5 and C++. Years later, I ported it to XNA, but didn't finish it. Years LATER, I ported it once more to Unity, and after over a decade of off-on development, I'm proud to release the relaxing and zen-like PacketStorm.
In PacketStorm, you play an AI developing a new Internet Service Provider. Each game takes place over a few second of game-time, but potentially many hours of realtime. Buy up routers, upgrade cable networks and deal with packet jams as you earn money to research new and better upgrades. Move from running a small ISP over England to one spanning the entire world.
FREE BONUS - Learn the names and locations of almost every city in the world. It's like learning, but fun!
