Note that this project is a work in progress. There are no stable releases.

This game is being developed as part of research into work-space collaboration. The game is a multiplayer collaborative game, where the players work together to defend their crops from swarms of hungry locusts. The game is designed to be played on a Diamond Multitouch Table, but should be functional with more conventional input devices. In addition it will make extensive use of the Vibro-Tactile feedback to augment human to human communication pipelines when the users are in separate locations.

The research hopes to answer the following questions:

1. Does Vibro-Tactile feedback enhance workspace awareness for collaborative work on a Diamond Multitouch table. Especially when some of the users are remote?
2. Can the users developer their own communication protocols for the vibro-tactile feedback?
