Show HN: A Risk-like game where bugs grow their hives

  Some tech info: - Built with ReactJS using a modded version of Ali's awesome starter kit: https://github.com/alicoding/react-webpack-babel https://github.com/alicoding/react-webpack-babel - Backend is FireBase (I may have to change this as cost could be a huge issue) - All randomization uses the probability-distributions library (double plug!) which I built to have a JS package with the same syntax as R (go R!). - Icons for avatars built use the fantastic IcoMoon service: https://icomoon.io https://icomoon.io

    Why do cells I own randomly empty?
    • Mattasher 10y ago
      There's a built in decay factor (current half-life approx 4hrs/cell). That keeps the entire board from filling up and preventing new users from coming in.
