Mind Rover is a Simulation game.

Program your robotic vehicle in this intelligent simulation game.

Mind Rover also know as MindRover: The Europa Project.

Mind Rover is the Intelligent Robot Simulation' or perhaps you can call it a 3D strategy/programming game. This is a new genre that encompasses the depth of play found in strategy games with a new concept in player control. You get to program the intelligence of robotic vehicles.

In Mind Rover you are a researcher on Europa, a moon of Jupiter. In your free time you re-program the rovers to race around the hallways, battle it out with mini lasers and rocket launchers, and find their way through mazes.

Once you have chosen a challenge, equip your vehicle (hovercraft, wheeled or treaded) with various sensors, movement components, and weapons. Then program the behavior of your vehicle in a graphical interface where you wire the components together and set their properties. Then let it go in the arena and watch how it does!

Mind Rover is a puzzle game that breaks down into different scenarios. Each scenario has specific objectives that you must accomplish to complete them. The player is allocated a certain number of points to construct a rover with. You then choose a rover chassis and various components, each cost points, depending upon their characteristics. The final task is to wire (program) them together such a way that accomplishes the scenario objectives. There are four different kinds of scenarios, such as races, battles, sports, or misc. (Mazes, puzzles, etc). Succeed, and you're given more advanced components, more advanced tools (wiring/programming methods), and more complex adjectives.

You can stop the competition and tweak your vehicle at any time until you really like what it does!

The competitions take place in a 3D world in and around the space station.

Mind Rover features:

• Original concept in design and final delivery
• Challenges your mind, not your reflexes
• Filled with unique, innovative design features
• Simple, graphical user interface
• Based on sound engineering, science, math principles
• Boolean algebra naturally inherent in the game
• Exchange designs with others
• Protect design features from being altered
• Complex for graduate students, simple enough for high school students
• Diverse components can be added to vehicles
• Different scenarios to test vehicle design
• Teaches programming skills, cause and effect reasoning, planning
• Programming is as easy as point and click
• Design capabilities simulates reality
