Takaku

Introduction

Takaku (多角) is an easy to learn two-player abstract strategy game which involves connecting dots with colourful lines. It's inspired by the pencil-and-paper game Sim.

How to play

At the beginning of the game, each player is assigned a colour. Players take turns making moves, where a move consists of connecting two dots with a coloured line. Lines are coloured in the player's colour and can only be drawn between two dots if there isn't already a line (in any colour) there. The first player to form a triangle in their colour (i.e. each corner of the triangle is a dot) loses the game.

Controls

Core

• Press LMB whilst hovering over a circle to select it. Then, press LMB whilst hovering over a different circle to draw a line between the two circles. To deselect a circle that is currently selected, simply press LMB whilst hovering over the circle.
• Press SPACE to reset the game.
• Press ESCAPE to close the game.
• Press M to return to the main menu (ends current game).

Optional

• Hold RMB while hovering over a circle to move it to a different location on screen.
• Press F when hovering over a circle to "freeze" it. This prevents it from being moved. To unfreeze a circle, simply hover over it and press F again.
• Press R to reset circles to their original positions (ignores frozen circles).
