simple space strategy game built on app engine

[Luke]

hello everyone in app engine land. i thought i might share a simple
game i've been working on that was built using GAE and GWT.

it's a turn-based space strategy game. capture your opponents planets
to win. currently it's only multiplayer, no AI to play against. i
thought playing my friends would be more fun than a computer.

it's been optimized it for Android and iPhone devices. turns are
asynchronous, like "words with friends".

check it out and let me know if you have fun:

Looks interesting, Luke.

Is the interface text based, or are there some sort of graphics with
it? If there are graphics, a screenshot/demo in the frontpage would be
great!

Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any other people's google accounts
right away, so I couldn't play. It would be a bit cooler if you could
connect with facebook and invite your friends there to play with you.

Please keep me updated.

the game has a simple 2D board with planets on it.

i implemented an AI last night, so if you don't know anyone to invite,
you can still play against the computer.

i hadn't really anticipated how people would interact with the app, so
i've got a bit of work to do today to make it easier to
use...including easier ways to setup games with friends or games with
other random players.

Nice work Luke!  That game is addicting, haha.  Definitely bookmarking that.
