The Hurricane Landfall Disaster Dynamics Game is a four-player virtual strategy
game about the interaction between natural disasters and urban planning. The
game is computerized; it plays like a traditional physical boardgame, but there
are simulation components that require significant computation. The game's
architecture is client-server, with each player having her own computer.
Individual machines allow moves to be made in parallel and enable players to
access private representations of the game state in addition to the public
representation. The server is typically run on the instructor's computer, and
will also provide facilitation tools.
