The Game

• UCSCopoly is a spin off of the well known game
  Monopoly.
• Supports 24 players.

6
The Game (Cont.)

• The object of our Monopoly is to play as students
  instead of real estate moguls, and acquire the
  courses necessary to complete one of three
  majors CS, CE, or ISM.
• In an effort to curb the boredom the students
  will have to overcome obstacles and run risks
  similar to those faced by us every quarter, from
  Jobs and Relationships to Vacations and Parties,
  Easy Tests to All Nighters.

7
The Game (Cont.)

• The students will roll dice in an effort to
  circumscribe the board. Each side of the board
  will represent one quarter at UCSC.
• Each corner will mean a trip to Hahn student
  services where they will obtain the financial aid
  award necessary to enroll in classes.

8
Possible Project Risks

• Game Complexity
• Many rules to implement
• Lots of special cases to worry about
• 3-D Graphics
• A group of 3

9
Estimated Project Complexity

• Networking will be as simple and basic as can be.
• The game itself will involve a lot of code, as
  there are many states.
• The graphics will be difficult to implement
