Laser tag is something that we might have played before in the past. The premise of laser tag is simple: aim for the enemy, pull the trigger, score some points. However a Kickstarter project b y the name of Skirmos is hoping to take a relatively simple game like laser tag to the next level by making it an open source project.
At the moment what makes Skirmos different from your average laser tag game is the fact that the guns come with LCDs mounted on them. The LCDs will be updated in real time and will show information such as health, kill count, time left, shield, ammunition, and so on. Like we said it will update in real-time.
According to Skirmos’ co-founder and software designer, Richard Rice, “If somebody gets killed, somebody takes the flag or the score changes, it will update live on screen, meaning that the radio keeps all the scoring and game events automatically updated, just as they are when playing a game on the internet.” (more…)
