<description><![CDATA[ There will be a zoomed map with iconic representation of main character and elements near enough to be sensed. Terrain will be represented by tiles.

Other elements represented will be a world map, representing known terrain and far elements sensed by smell or hearing. Terrain will be represented by coloured areas, and element by coloured or shaped points (little circles, square, crosses, etc.)

Player will obtain also knowledge of her status by progress bars showing her levels of stamina, water and mix level of pollution and poison in her body.

Players will move using mouse/screen touch (PC/Wiz) or arrow keys/joystick (PC/Wiz). They could also ask for information about elements using mouse/screen touch. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[ Tasks ]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[ http://booleansoup.com/index.php?p=43&m=viewpost&id=333 ]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[ The tasks that a player must accomplish to survive are:

Obtaining food: hunting or scavenging

Water: don&#039;t being very far from fresh water

Migrating: looking for better places, more food or water, a mate, less dangers as people, pollution, 

Mating and growing chicks, actually there&#039;s the goal of everything. Males have to put other males out of his territory, look for females and seduce them. Females has easy to get a partenaire, but they will have to take care of their kitten until they are strong enough to be on their own. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Stamina falling
As time goes by wildcats lose its stamina, become hungry and feel the need to hunt. Younger cats lose its stamina slowly, and older ones lose it faster. Winter also makes stamina to falls faster because of fat being burned against the cold.

Water falling
As well as stamina, cats lose also its water. Water falls slowly when cats are next to fresh water, and also when they eat (they take quite water from blood and fat). Hot season (summer) is the worst because water falls very fast, and fresh water sources are fewer.

Aging
Aging acts in several ways in a wildcat. In general, they always become clever when older. Furthermore, young cats become stronger (max stamina rise up) until the age of 7-8. Older cats become weaker when aging.

Seasons
Winter makes wildcats to waste more stamina, there&#039;s also less preys to hunt, so it&#039;s a very hard season, when most of the older cats dies.
Winter is also the season for mating, because of that there&#039;s lots of fights between males, being another cause to suffer and die in the cold season.
Summer can be hard in hot places, beacuse of drought. But there&#039;s quite plenty of food. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Cars Cars is one of the bigger dangers that wildcats suffer. Cars take wildcat by surprise because of its speed, and it&#039;s usually fatal for them. Willdcats crossing cars or in urban terrain are always under danger of being hurted by a car.

Hunters People don&#039;t use to like wildcats. They&#039;re hunted for his fur or because people thinks they&#039;re a plague. 

Poison People use poison to get off of mice and rats in their food or growns. There&#039;s also some poisons coming from pollution in the water (as lead) and in water (as sulfur). Being in the top of the trophic chain, wildcats accumulate these poisons and can suffers diseases or become unable to conceive.

Pollution Pollution is created by people, and disturb seriously the life of wildcats and other animals. It can chemical components as CO2 in the air, or physical as loud noises from highways. Pollution acts as poison in terms of game, but can be removed by going away of its sources.

Wildcats Male wildcats are very territorial and will fight with others for its territory and the female living in it. Very young or very old wildcats can choose to flee instead of fighting against a stronger cat, but they could be chasen down when its rival feel strong enough. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mouse What do cats eat? Mice and rats are main source of food. They don&#039;t provide as many meat as other sources, but are very numerous and easy to hunt.

Rabbit Rabbits are quite bigger, stronger and faster than mice, but they are really delicious. A rabbit or a hare can sort out a bad week.

Lizard Tough and very fast, lizards are only a second option, but they&#039;ve got a quite tasty meat, something like chicken.

Robin In spite of the fame, birds are the last option for a cat. They are very small, and so they has very little meat, and furthermore they are very difficult to catch.

Carrion Winter and old age are really tough, so the Wildcat will resign to eat dead animals or scavenge in the garbage, in spite of the risk of becoming poisoned. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Stamina It&#039;s the energy of the character. It falls as time goes by. Winter makes stamina to drop faster, as well as age. You recover your stamina by eating, it sounds easy.

Stamina max The age of the character determine maximum value for stamina. Younger and elder characters have lower max than medium-aged ones.

Knowledge Older characters know more about life, and are able to surpass the drop of his stamina max fall.
Water You need water for life. Don&#039;t forget. When you are very thirsty you are a worse hunter.

Poison People and some plants put poison in your very life. Be careful because you can not remove it from your body, and it will make your stamina falls.

Pollution Pollution came from some human activities. As you live next to this activities your body become polluted. You can clean yourself by living away from this pollution sources. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[ Main character ]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[ http://booleansoup.com/index.php?p=43&m=viewpost&id=328 ]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[ Original game was designed to play with several animals, but in order to achieve the time restriction  to finish this game (5 weeks) it will be reduced to only one.

The selected specie will be the Wildcat, although the game simulation could refer to any other medium sized predator as the fox, the bobcat, or the lynx.

The game will start with this wildcat as a young adult and will last as long as he or she may survive. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[ Introduction ]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[ http://booleansoup.com/index.php?p=43&m=viewpost&id=327 ]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[ The plot of the game is to simulate the life of an animal in a dynamic environment, where the player could learn by example some concepts about Ecology.

This game is based upon Survival, developed by Scientific Horizons in 1984. That&#039;s why this is called Survival XXVth, because of the 25 years that Survival was programmed ago.

It was the first game I played, and now it is the first game I will try to develop.

The perfect excuse to make this game is the first BennuGD Wiz/PC contest, so it should ready next januray 6th 2010. ]]></description>
