Space Curling FFE

Simple & cool curling game with adjustable tempo, number of ends (rounds) per match and number of throws per end.

Current state of this project is "almost finished (~90%) and already enjoyable". It's possible to play and finish a match (local multiplayer, 2-8 players). The game should be fully finished within weeks. After purchase, all future upgrades may be downloaded for free.

Already implemented:

• basic game mechanics (throwing, curling, ends, matches, etc.)
• built-in quick help with controls & basic rules description ([F1] or [Right Mouse Button])
• adjustable tempo ([F5]/[F6])
• adjustable number of ends (rounds) per match ([F7]/[F8], only before the first throw)
• adjustable number of throws per end ([Ctrl+F7]/[Ctrl+F8], only before the first throw)
• multiple built-in stone models to choose, more models soon ([F9]/[F10], any time)
• Hammer related rules
• Free Guard Zone Rule
• the current stone view & the house view ([Middle Mouse Button] or [Tab] or [Home])
• adjustable friction ([Ctrl+Shift+F9]/[Ctrl+Shift+F10], only before the first throw)
• zoom in/out ([Mouse Scroll] or [PageUp]/[PageDown])
• show/hide inactive stones ([X])
• UI off/mini/full ([Z])
• diagnostic info ([F11])
• minimize ([Ctrl+F12])
• press [Esc] once to quit (no confirmation) - to be changed soon
• try [Ctrl+Shift+F11]/[Ctrl+Shift+F12]

Soon:

• stone model editor
• adjustable colors (every single of them)
• sweeping - at the moment there are two simplified game modes without sweeping, please note that most probably these modes are better for playing with high game tempo values
• menu ; )
• interface & graphics improvements
• most probably: player(s) vs CPU (maybe this is not needed?)
• ...

How to play:

• the goal is to place stones (as many as possible) closer to the tee (the centre of those concentric rings far away) than the closest stone of the opposite player/team
• to choose the throw direction move the mouse along the x-axis before pressing a button (or [left/right arrow, optionally with Ctrl or Shift])
• to throw a stone press and hold the [Left Mouse Button], wait a moment to built-up power and then release the [LMB] (or [Delete], or [Insert-and-then-Delete])
• to adjust the direction and the intensity of curl, move the mouse along the x-axis while the [LMB] is pressed (or [Delete], or after [Insert] but before [Delete])

Space Curling tweaks:

• asymmetric sheet (the game area) - symmetric sheet is not needed/useful in a video game
• simplified stone model with labels (numbers), lit when moving and because of other reasons (e.g. the final result of an end)
• simplified curling mechanics (only to the first collision) - this game was always meant to be simple & cool rather than deep & realistic

Please note that online multiplayer is not planned. FFE means "family & friends edition (-> players need to be in the same room)", but also "no resources to implement & manage an online multiplayer server" ; )

Video, more images and more description soon!
