Author Topic: Aggravation Board  (Read 4566 times)

My fourth gallery build.

About:
As the title says, this build is based on the classic board game called Aggravation. The specific board design
and layout is based of off a real home-made aggravation board that i own

*edit*
Yes, i know to some people the board desgin may resemble a swastika in shape, but keep in mind
that it is NOT meant to be a Swastika. If anything its more or less shaped like a plus sign. The placement
of the start areas are the reason it can be seen as a swastika.

Tech Specs:
- Board base is a 64x64 baseplate
- Total of 89 spaces on the board, including "start" and "home" spaces"
- Each "start" area includes a Player control panel.
- Each player control panel includes a pawn spawning switch, a dice block, buttons to respawn the pawns
in the start spaces, and counters for scoring pawns that are in the "home" spaces.
- The player control panel includes minigame events to enhance use in minigames (currently tweaking these events)
- The "pawns" are horses that have been resized to better fit the board spaces, said horses are coloured to
match player colors. I purposely chose horses as pawns so that players could simply ride their "pawns" to move
them instead of having to use some complex system or tool.

How does it work?
- The dice block is a print cube evented to show a random number print in the range of 1-6 when clicked
(using set random events)
- The respawn buttons respawn the horses on their corresponding vehicle spawn space.
- The counter buttons use relay events and toggle event to prevent cheating, plus the fifth "win" button
doesn't appear until all others are pressed in order.

The hidden 5th "win" button next to the counter buttons:

(Normally this button does not appear until the other four buttons have been pressed, but i enabled rendering
for this image)


The Rules area, where you'd click to read the rules:



The real life home made aggravation board that inspired this build and served as the board design template:

(Yes, this board is old, i've had it for a long time. It was hand made by my Grandpa and, as you can probably
see, it was made to be used with marbles.)

also nice board!

Looks nice, I like how you used a real-life reference model and made a lot of logic for it.

Looks kinda like a swastika. Otherwise it seems pretty nice!

Thank you.

Eh, looks more like a plus sign to me, although i can see how you'd see it as a swastika thanks to the placement
of the start areas.

Thanks, btw.

No, no he isn't.

I'm sure he never intended to make the board resemble a swastika (even though it is closer in shape to
a plus sign than anything else).

this is neato, you should release the save so we can play

also do you plan on making the one with 6 players later? that'd be pretty cool

haha i used to play this all the time with my family

Maybe i will someday soon.

No, not really, i wouldn't really know how to properly implement the stuff for the two other players
without messing up the whole thing.

idk why you got so afraid of us jokingly saying its a swastika; even to go as far as to edit the op
its just a joke homie



I'M AGGRAVATED


OT: neat, didn't even notice it resembled a swastika until you pointed it out tho

probably so that there isnt so much people going on about it looking like a swastika

overall, this is a pretty nice looking build man
