Story

Earn a house at the bahamas by suing other inventions using your patents.

Plot

Intro with sad music starts playing. Developer at an open source project are shown, how they fight. Thunderstorm, rain, wind in the background. Inversion card flies in. Music stops. Bahama vibe music starts playing with intro: BAHAMA 🍌 The player dreams of a house at the bahamas, living in peace and harmony. Sippin' drinks and go to the beach every day. To reach this goal, the player wants to be the best patent troll out there defending patents and gaining money. Starting with a vague patent and low skills, the first lawsuits are hard to make. Deals have to be made with low earnings. As the player wins more lawsuits, gains more money and experience, it's easier to win more advanced ones. New patents can be bought, and so on.

Goal

Earn 1.400.000$ for the house at the bahamas.

Impressions

Patents

Patents are needed to make and win lawsuits against new inventions. A patent consists of an abstract invention including a discription why it is unique and differs it from everything else. Each patent has several properties, shown in the draft and described in its description.

Each patent can be used against 5 inventions. If the player choose the wrong patent, the judge will deny the lawsuit. Within a lawsuit, the player has to choose an argument why the invention violates the patent: color, function, shape, charisma.

The player has a convincibility per argument that can be skilled throughout the game to up to 20% max.

Formula

The function P(x,y) is simply a hash P storing the probability of a property x and y like P[x][y].
Each invention (I) has a probability per argument (A) (color, function, shape, charisma) to win: P(A,I) = <probability>.
The player has for each argument (A) a convincibility (C): P(A,C) = <probability>.
An argument can be won if a random percentage value is within the sum of both probabilities: <rand> <= P(A,I) + P(A,C).

Structure

A patent consits of:

name (e.g. progress bar)
gibberish id (e.g. #519.a/c9)
description/definition (e.g. horizontal bar that visualizes progress)
sketch with explaination
