 //SchwarzWeiss// is german and means "black/white". This game was created 2010 (?) during a 48-hour-game-creating contest at Viennas Metalab computer lab. The theme was "black and white" (or was it "grid"?) and only public available resources were allowed. Lucky for me, that included ThePythonGameBook. In effect i worked around 3 hours in the evening and around 4 hours in the next morning. After that i lost interest and presented the game to the other participants in the Metalab to make use of the weekend for non-computer related activities. While i'm proud to report that i was the first participant to present a "playable" game (way bebfore the deadline) i'm less proud to report the results of test-playing against the other coders. It turned out that while my game is playable, it is simply boring and not much fun. Also i got beaten in my own game by people who never played the game before :-( //SchwarzWeiss// is german and means "black/white".

 While modifying the game for the reddit game jam 06, i replaced the obstacle balls with tanks and added some kind of energy management (the topic of the reddit game jam 06 was "energy"). While modifying the game for the reddit game jam 06, i replaced the obstacle balls with tanks and added some kind of energy management (the topic of the reddit game jam 06 was "energy").

 2 players (WASD, cursor keys) must steer their tanks and fire at the grey tiles of the field between them. Each shot crossing a tile makes the tile darker (player1) or lighter (player2). If a single tile is shot at enough times by the same color, it is displayed crossed and do not change color any more. First player who convert more than 50% of all tiles to his color wins. 2 players (WASD, cursor keys) must steer their tanks and fire at the grey tiles of the field between them.

 Some static and movable orange-glowing obstacles (barriers) are in the game. Those obstacles destroy Machine gun rounds and cannon rounds upon impact, thus acting as some sort of cover for the player. Some static and movable orange-glowing obstacles (barriers) are in the game.
