The card game for programming enthusiasts. OutOfMemory! is a physical card game about balancing feature growth, avoiding OutOfMemory exceptions and disrupting your opponents growth. Good luck and let the competition to market begin!
A short summary of the game rules:
- your goal is to build an application from features, represented (mostly) by Feature cards, generating Feature points,
- the first player who collects 10 Feature points, wins,
- Feature cards have costs. So, for example, many cards allocate Memory at the end of each turn,
- if you hit the specified memory limit, you experience an OutOfMemory exception resulting in unpleasant consequences,
- actions and features are limited by the number of CPU Ticks available,
- to reclaim some memory, you can play Garbage Collection cards,
- you can disrupt opponents by playing Bug or Issues cards against them,
- you can help yourself by playing Fix cards,
- there are Action cards with special consequences!
- and you can host a single Hero card with unique and special abilities!
