Go Pro Grand Prix

Hello! My name is Nisanth and welcome to my blog, Articklez! Now, I'm going to show you a board game I designed, which uses actual "Hot wheels" and "Maisto" cars! I call it "Go pro Grand Prix", or just "GPGP" for short. This game has many traps and boosts, and is a thrilling experience! This game aims at simulating a hardcore street racer's journey. Here are an image of the board used and instructions to play.



Rules of the game:


  1. This game is based on luck. Roll the dice to get how many squares you should move.
  2. Two to three people can play at a time.
  3. Start at the first of the below images. The checkered flag denotes the end. In the example above, the player using the Aston Martin Vulcan won.


  4. Start off with a basic car. I use the Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger, and the Acura NSX Concept. You may unlock supercars later on. The supercars I have are the Lamborghini Huracan, Aston Martin Vulcan, and the Porsche Panamera Turbo. One perk about supercars is that they go an extra square. Eg., if you get "6", "4", "5"; you move car forward "6" + "4" + "6" squares.
  5. If you land on the "Bam! Upgrades" or the "Super" square, you will unlock a supercar.
  6. If you land on the "Swap" square, your car gets swapped. If you have a supercar, you should take back your initial basic car. If you have a basic, take a supercar. This is also an upgrade/downgrade square
  7. If you land on the square with an image of a crashing car, you should go to the "Garage" square. However, If you land on the "Insurance" square, you become immune to the "Crash" square's effects. I usually place a toy tow truck on the "Crash" square.




  8. You have to stop at the "Gas" square, even if you originally should land on a square beyond it. If you land on the "Low" square, you should go back there. The square with a bolt of lightning converts your car into an electric one, and therefore protects you from the "Low" square.

  9. If you land on the square with a barricade on it, "1" will be subtracted from your next roll. Eg., if you get "5" next, you will only go four spaces forward.
  10. If you land on the square with a police badge—on which I usually put a police car—you lose the next turn.


Thank you!

The Ramayana in a Nutshell

Image Credits: Blog - I Think Solutions     One day the great sage, Valmiki saw a pair of Krauncha birds. He was filled with joy on seeing them. But, his glee was short-lived, for, a hunter immediately killed the pair of birds. Valmiki was furious. He cursed the hunter in the ancient language, Sanskrit. But, his curse somehow seemed kind of poetic. Surprised, Valmiki returned back to his ashram. Suddenly, Brahma (the creator) appeared. He gave Valmiki the power to see Lord Rama's past, present, and future; and asked Valmiki to compose a book on him. He composed the poem and taught it to Lava and Kusha, who were Rama's sons living in Valmiki's ashram. They recited the poem in many places. It so happened that Rama himself heard of the boys and asked them to sing it in his court. They began: Bala Kand: During the Dwapara and the Treta yugas, injustice prevailed. To rid the earth of all evil, everyone requested Vishnu (the protector) to be incarnate on the earth. He was born ...

Monotony — by N1SPAR

An easy to sing, song about the journey of the Indian tenth grader through their board exams. I wrote this song in the January preceding my board exams (where I scored 98%, by the way), and sang this in my school's farewell party. When it comes to my rap, I call myself "N1SPAR" (short for "Nisanth Parupalli"). Credits Written by Nisanth Parupalli Produced and performed by N1SPAR Lyrics (Yeah!) The monotony,  no anatomy, Desperation won't saddle me! Like a bike with no handles, wee! 'Cause nobody can handle me! Time to learn your "A", "B", "C"s. Then, move on to your "1", "2", "3"s. Education starts when you're three, But the real deal's when you're fifteen! Get a ninety-eight, they'll shave yo' head. It's like a war and you're out for blood! Read stuff you've already read— Read until you go to bed! "E" stands for "E—X—A—M", Wake up at 5:10 am! ...

Jailbreak

Hello! My name is Nisanth and welcome to my blog, Articklez. This article is about a game I made, called "Jailbreak". I made it using a tool called "Construct 2". Construct 2 was developed by a startup called "Scirra". It is quite easy to develop games using it. This is one such game which only works on a laptop/desktop. Jailbreak is a game where there's an imaginary outlaw on the run. He first has to escape the cops' dynamite-filled prison, then he has to race his way to the finish line to escape. But, that's not it! In the second level, when the user escapes the prison and is engaged in driving to the finish, there are cop cars chasing him! This is a fun, interactive, and tactical game. Here's a video to demonstrate:
