This is a port of my windows adaptation of the classic "paper and pen" game Paddocks or Boxes as some know it by.
How to play:
Paddix is a 2-player game, each player takes turns building fences between the posts in the main paddock, once all four sides of a smaller paddock have been built, the paddock is claimed by the player that placed the fourth fence and a point is awarded.
Once all the paddocks have been claimed, the game is over with the player that has the most points as the winner.
Controls:
Paddix has 2 modes of control: Gamepad mode and Mouse mode
Gamepad Controls:
Arrow buttons: Move pointer
o/Z / x/X : Build fence
Mouse Controls:
Mouse-movement: Move pointer
Left-Click : Build fence
Gamepad mode is set by default, toggle between modes via the system menu.
Single-player mode:
By default, Paddix is played with 2 human players however, it can be played against an inbuilt computer-player with the "Player 2" menu option.
The face is the normal human mode, the other options are shown as a microchip with a colored label. The label shows it's skill level. The skill level sets it's likelihood of making a mistake.
Green: Easy, most likely to make a bad move.
Yellow: Normal, it may make a couple of bad moves on a bigger board.
Red: Hard, least likely to make a bad move.
Background effect:
Paddix has a simple bubble-like effect behind the main play field. This effect can be toggled on and off via the system menu.
Placing fences:
To place a new fence, move the pointer between 2 free posts and press the gamepad button or left-mouse button, the fence will be built. The activation zone is shown below, if the pointer is in the highlighted areas the fence will be placed otherwise it will not.
