This is demonstration of our new game - Monopoly. You can't play yourself, but you can see how AI players play each other.
Game is not playable and still in development.
Of course, this game based on lQuery

That is awesome, cant wait till it is playable.
But it's still fun watching it play itself.

Cool ! Nice animation (no teleport or laggy step by step animation), no joke, I think it's important, it make the game more "professional". I thought I was the only one to make game that You cannot play with ^o^. Maybe I should post my Domino game (even if the quality is way below this Monopoly).

I like the easing effects, but I don't really like how they cut corners. Good work.

You can not play this Monopoly (yet) but you can watch the different game situations and even bet on the players

It will be playable as vs computer and online. We simply have not yet finished the GUI and server side... First release will be only singleplayer: human vs computer.

Whar does it mean?
We (the developers:) also expect you to the wishes and ideas for this game, because we have serious intentions.
I also want to say that this monopoly is used logos of popular companies, but the final release will most likely not use these logos because of copyright restrictions.

The pieces move directly from their starting point to their destination. It would look better if the pieces moved one step at a time.
I have to say though, I love how smooth all those transitions and whatnot look. For my next project, I will definitely be using lquery. Good job!

Similarly, I do not like how they cut corners. In the next version chips will move, visiting corner cells, if necessary.

I let them play for a while, this is the result:

EDIT: I let it play even longer. When it reached $10 M, I called it quits.

Nice man! I did notice one problem (or is it?), the memory meter up the top keeps climbing up to about 750/760, then it drops back to about 400, and then it starts over again. Luckily it doesn't just keep climbing, so it's not serious.

I think that's just the Lua GC doing its job.
Good work on the game.
