Cognitanks
A downloadable game for Windows
Welcome to Cognitanks, my work-in-progress AI tank battle simulator where you program the tanks and watch them fight. It's functional, rough around the edges, and ready for more content and some polish —lots of polish. I'm a systems-oriented creator who loves building deep, interconnected mechanics more than anything else. This is my first game, inspired by a few years of daydreaming about a 3D version of Bot Arena III. Everyone says start with something small... my ambition clearly had other plans.
Here is an overview of the general feeling I am going for:
You are one of the lucky few selected to join the Temporal League of Combat (TLC)—a mysterious, high-stakes tournament. The premise is simple: a hand-picked crew of tinkerers, engineers, and gearheads get put head to head in competition, you get tank parts, and the opposition gets tank parts. Your job? Build, program, and battle your way through three increasingly intense leagues.
As you progress, new parts get unlocked! Will you take the crown or suffer defeat? At the very least please try to impress the audience with a show.

This game does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. All files included are required for the game to function. It may trigger Windows Smartscreen but as this is just a hobby for me paying for code signing is an expense outside my current scope.
For WebGL my assumption would be running a physics game wouldn't work well but I could be wrong. I will have to make a real attempt at browser version at some point.
