I’m done. Final post here.

The game’s name is Catalyst, as the game revolves around triggering a nuclear war. There’s not much to it. Its very basic – just a 2-player human vs human mode. Not to mention the fact that the gameplay is very broken – its easy to get into stupid stalemate scenarios and so on and most of the time feels pointless. BUT the nuke explosions are pretty! Wahey!

The chain reaction part of the game is the way that missile attacks trigger off counter-attacks against other nations who then attack other nations etc etc.

Tools used:

• Eclipse IDE (I use it for writing java, C++ and php – it’s great!)
• Graphics Gale (Excellent for animating sprites)
• The GIMP (For other graphics)
• DrPetter’s awesome SFXR tool (For generating sound effects)
• Goldwave (For some sound effect tweaking)

Here’s my final screenshot:
