Topia Multiplayer Game Sample

This repository contains sample games for use within topia.io. Only Spaaace and Wiggle are configured with the Topia SDK.

Wiggle

How To Play

• Students can play by walking inside of the game asset’s private zone
• Students can ‘spectate’ by clicking on the game asset while outside the private zone
• Nobody is able to join the game or spectate if they are not in the world

Game Mechanics

• Click “Join Game” to create a wiggle and join the game.
• Use your mouse to move your wiggle.
• Eat food (the red circles) to grow in length.
• If your wiggle is blocked (runs into) another wiggle, your game ends - try again.
• If you block another wiggle, you get a point.
• Blocking bots doesn’t give you a point.
• If you block a bot, your wiggle increases by ¼ of the bot’s length.
• If you block a player, your wiggle increases by ½ of that player’s length.
• Your wiggle will also shrink over time. The bigger it gets, the faster it shrinks.

Admin capabilities

Controls only available to admins / owners of a Topia world

Leaderboard

• Admins add the leaderboard in-world by clicking “Show Scores” in the Join screen
• Remove the leaderboard by clicking the “Hide Scores” button.
• Leaderboard is specific to an instance of the game. If you have multiple instances of wiggle in your world, each one can have its own leaderboard.
• The “High Scores” section shows the top three players’ scores of anyone who has played this particular instance of the game.
• The “Current Scores” section shows the scores of everyone currently playing.
• Don’t delete your game instance without first removing the leaderboard. Otherwise, the leaderboard needs to be removed manually.

Stats Board

• Admins can add a stats board to the world by clicking “Show Stats” in the Join screen.
• Remove the stats by clicking the “Hide Stats” button.
• Stats board maintains persistent statistics of every player across every instance of the game, in every world they play in.
• Students gain XP and levels by eating food and blocking other players’ wiggles.
• The stats board will only show stats for anyone currently playing with an active wiggle.
• Don’t delete your game instance without first removing the stats board. Otherwise, the stats board needs to be removed manually.

Spaaace

Configured to only allow visitors to access the game from within a world. Your ship automatically has your Topia username. Enter a private zone to play. If outside the private zone, you can spectate. The leaderboard shows current scores and all time high scores.
