Play cops and robbers using the local geography.
Inspiration
GeoChase combines geography nerds' two favorite activities: Using their knowledge, and navigating it in realtime.
Although our game is cops and robbers, the framework of real world geography as the playing field can be extended to create a variety of simulations and games.
What it does
The robbers compete against the cops on a simulated playfield with data obtained from OpenStreetMap.
The robbers must capture all the targets by moving close to them.
The cops must capture the robbers by moving close to them. There can be cop helicopters that provide intelligence via verbal communication, but cannot capture.
How we built it
We used Pygame CE for the GUI.
We parsed OpenStreetMap XML data to import real world geography into the game.
