Scriptarians: The Tournament is the debut project of Artifex Mundi studio in Zabrze. Developers took inspiration from a cult production from the 80s of the last century – Core War, however, adapting the gameplay to the expectations of modern gamers and the technical capabilities of modern computers.

The action of the game is set in a fantasy world, in which a team consisting of a magician, priest, archer and barbarian participates in the prestigious tournament The Scriptarians. Unlike most games, the task of players is not to control the actions of characters in combat, but to create appropriate programs that will use the strengths of each member of the group and ensure victory in a battle with their opponents.

Creating scripts in Scriptarians: The Tournament is based on introducing instructions similar to those used in popular programming languages. More experienced players can use their own skills, while the laymen are provided with ready-made solutions.

The effects of the created programs can be observed by following the team’s actions in a three-dimensional graphical environment. What is particularly important, the key to winning a battle with computer artificial intelligence or a living opponent (in multiplayer mode) is not only the proper functioning of the generated scripts, but also their proper interaction in the team.
