This is a two player game. You fight for territory. After ten seconds a winner is chosen based on how you placed your markers.
To set a marker you have to push your button: Player 1: "A" Player 2: "L"
Start the game from a terminal with "java -jar tower.jar" after you unzipped the archive and put the "res"-folder and the "tower.jar" into the same folder. JRE 7 is needed to play the game.
This is a really interesting concept for a game. The biggest problem for me was how unpredictable the location of the line was, so I couldn't really plan what I was going to do ahead of time.
I cannot play the game (Ubuntu 13.04). rephus > java -jar tower.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Main : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
As someone who doesn't know how Voronoi decomposition works, the area is somewhat unpredictable. An intereresting concept however. Should probably read about the algorithm a bit. Btw, although it says "Linux" on the download, it works on my Windows machine (well, it's Java after all), so it's a bit misleading.
Even if I know what a Voronoi diagram is, the game was still mostly left to random because of the marker-placing line. I think the issue is that the theme does not fit the game quite well (the Voronoi game is better played turn-by-turn, at least by my experience). On a totally unrelated note, I went through you source code to find which way you implemented the Voronoi diagram, but I was not able to find it. Which one did you choose ?
