MOON is an educational game where players will simulate a simple computer. Help the astronauts to fulfill their mission!
This repository contains an open source videogame implementation of MOON using Godot, along with the rulebook and documentation in HTML using Sphinx.
Other videogame implementations of MOON exist; however, as far as we are aware, those are not open source (yet) or being actively developed/maintained in a public repository (at the moment):
- These are all different versions of the same implementation based on libGDX:
- moon.deusto.es
- An
.apkfor Android can be downloaded from compus.deusto.es/moon. - play.google.com: MOON board game
- tabletopia.com/games/moon
Therefore, the purpose of this repository is to provide a foundation for (computer science and engineering) students, hobbyists and software developers to learn and practice by exploring the features and extensions of MOON not available in existing implementations. For instance: increasing the number of bits, more error events, a portrait layout for smartphones, adding multiplayer support, or including the LUNA computer.
At the same time, it is a showcase of how easy it is to continuously create, build and release 2D and/or 3D games, apps or tools for desktop, mobile and web using free and open source tools (Godot and OCI containers); as long as the assets and logic are designed beforehand!
The development/contribution approach in this repository is to commit early and push often. Should you find any issue or if you are willing to contribute, let us know!
