Game Plan

World of Wizard is a 3D player vs. player game. Each player is a wizard with a set of diverse spells.

  5. A basic collision detection mechanism is developed.

Target of Expectation:

  2. Player is able to play against other players.

  3. Score system and rules expanded to accommodate PvP.

Desired High-Bar:
