AI is rising rapidly, encouraging human beings to become more productive and live a good life. Of course, AI will soon surpass humans in many categories, but we are the ones who determine the AI behavior, their responses, and adaptation speed for now. And that is the fundamental concept behind Codyfight, a video game centered around the players’ construction and rules of AI to combat evil.
In this issue, we will explain the gist of Codyfight gameplay, an innovative turn-based strategy video game with NFT features. In a nutshell, players can own multiple robots with tradeable NFT skins and control these robots to battle against other players. Furthermore, the players can obtain crypto tokens (CTOK) by winning and participating in various activities. Now, let us dive into the gameplay of Codyfight.
Time to play the game
AI or human-controlled robots navigate over a two-dimensional dynamic-size rectangle tilemap (akin to a scalable, dynamic maze). One match consists of 10 rounds, and each round has up to 25 moves for each player.
The win condition is simple: The player who earns more points throughout the match wins!
At the mean time, officially there are two ways for players can earn points:
- Taking the exit gate: 5 points (the most apparent strategy)
- Capturing special agent Mr.Ryo: 15 points (advanced strategy). The agent, Mr. Ryo, is always active — he spawns together with players-controlled robots.
In the near future, there will also be random conditions can grant you extra points. So stay tuned for more updates!
Each turn player can perform one action of choice: go right, left, up, down, or standstill. Simple controls make the game easy to learn, but they do not simplify the final movement
decision or strategy!
Players should also have flexible strategies because:
- Your opponent is always unpredictable.
- This game has a wide variety of special agents who interact with each other and the players differently. Some special agents can help you, while others will try to slow you down.
- Map tiles are interactive and can enhance or restrict the game arena.
- New special agents, map tiles, or even special player abilities will frequently refresh.
The following is the currently implemented list of special agents and their own attributes, behaviors, and characters.
- Mr. Ryo (catch and get points)
- Mr. Kix (tries to block you from taking the exit)
- Buzz (teammate that helps you capture Mr. Ryo)
- Llama (caging grants Codyfight Token (CTOK) rewards)
- The Ripper (chases Mr. Ryo, eliminate anyone who stands in his way)
In short, the player either can capture Mr. Ryo to get the most points or go through the exit as a more straightforward strategy. However, all actions the players do must not exceed 25 moves. In addition, do not let the simple control scheme deceive you, as the opponent is adaptive to your movements and will not be easily captured. On the other hand, players can be aided by friendly agents and face resistance from hostile agents, so consider the moves carefully before advancing.
Automation, auto-wins, win rewards
Adaptive AI NPCs are not the only thing Codyfight has to offer. Even though Mr. Ryo and his crews can adjust their strategy, so do you.
In Codyfight, the users have two options to play the game. The first option is using a keyboard and touch screen. Essentially, we want the game to be accessible for everyone, so players with no programming skills are welcome to enjoy the game using a conventional inputs method. Controlling the characters is also very simple, as you only need to use four directional keys (WASD) to navigate around the map.
The second method is much more rewarding and is a novel idea to gaming itself. With Codyfight, you can code limitless different AI robots and create robot farms. These bots can then compete against others simultaneously and earn rewards on your behalf.
We can say that the bots army will solve a glaring issue in the traditional gaming space, in which players typically have to spend hours upon hours on a video game to get stronger. For instance, professional video game streamers usually spend their entire day playing the game in high intensity, while responding to the audience’s reactions and questions. Grinding in video games may take out the true purpose of video gaming for adults who are already occupied with 9–5 jobs: to relax while only having little time to spare.
Innovation takes place
Users can play the game using a keyboard and mouse, but Codyfight highly encourages players to choose the AI side and automate the bots with any programming language. By incentivizing programming, we also promote and reward creativity.
As a result, Codyfight is revolutionizing traditional gaming where it is usually us who spend countless hours interacting with the computer. But now, not only humans can play, but also the intellectual products that we make.
