Hypothesis Release 2 Works with PraxisMapper Release 4 immediately. Change the server URL in the Options menu in the .apk file to begin playing the included demo games against your own server. Is configured by default to run against my personal server, which covers the state of Ohio. If you are not in Ohio, you will not be able to interact with the demo server and need to fire up your own PraxisMapper instance to use, or find someone else that has.
In any mode, tap the header button to return to the previous mode. Android APK included here for completeness, but it's best you grab the source code and built it yourself in Solar2D.
5 Modes available in this version, none of which require server-side configuration to work:
- Paint the Town mode: Leave a trail of color wherever you walk.
- Area Tag mode: Walk to earn points, and spend them to claim areas for your team. (Pick your team in the Options menu if you want a specific one).
- Idle Game: Each Cell10 of a certain area type you walk through gives you credits that increment up every second. Spend them to evolve them into the next tier of area type, and win once you've earned enough points in all area types. Meant to show that games can interact with the area around them without displaying map tiles all the time.
- Virtual Geocache: Leave a selfie somewhere in a Cell8 behind a simple password, and then leave some hints on where your selfie is and the password to see it.
- Creature Collector: Scatters creatures around the map, and collect them when you walk into the same Cell10 they're in. Can you find all 27? Some are specific to certain regions of the state, and most have preferred habitat types. (If you make your own server, you'll want to tweak some values in the source code so the regional creatures spawn in the area covered by your server)
