Dicewars DS is a multiplayer version of a strategy Flash game Dicewars for the Nintendo DS handheld console.
It was submitted to the NEO Summer Coding Compo 2007 (NDS Game).
Installation
Copy the dicewars.nds (and optionally dicewars.ini) on your storage device and you're set.
Dicewars DS doesn't write any data, thus if you wish save any of the game settings, such as a player name or favourite color, edit the corresponding values in dicewars.ini file.
Note from developers:
To play the game over network, you will need to have a ready configured DS with correct Nintendo WFC settings.
To setup the network, you can use any WFC enabled game (e.g. Super Mario Kart, Tetris DS or Animal Crossing). When the WFC settings are in place, it will automatically use these settings for connection.
User guide
Your task is to conquer the whole game field by rolling dice. Each turn you may attack any opponent's territory from one of your adjacent territories as long as your territory has more than one die on it. When attacking, If you roll more than the defender, you win. At the end of each turn, the greatest number of adjoining territories you have is calculated, and you are awarded a bonus of that number of dice, which are placed randomly on your territory.
In the network game mode, you will need at least 2 players to start a game. The player starting up the game will decide the minimum and maximum amount of players. If the players wish to start the game before waiting for maximum amount of players (up to 7 players at once), the rest of the slots will be filled with CPU players.
