Basically, all players are divided into two teams-- the green Enlightened (Frogs) and the blue Resistance (Smurfs). There's a whole story line there, but I haven't really gotten into that. The game is played via an app on any Android device using a data connection and your GPS receiver. Players roam all around their city in search of player-added portals which exist in parks or by buildings/statues/memorialsof interest. A portal is controlled by one of the two teams. Players can hack any portal to get gear from it. If it's an enemy portal, they can try to attack it and take it over for their team. Once a portal is on your side, you can link it to another nearby portal, and create triangular fields out of 3 portals. Players get Action Points, or AP for doing stuff and this is how you level up. You must also collect XM which gives you power. I am currently at level 4 out of 8 and on the resistance team. That makes me a smurf. It's pretty fun, but I've literally only been playing about 24 hours. A few friends have been nice enough to show me tricks and help me get AP by creating links and fields to level up. Hopefully it will continue to be fun and hopefully my wife won't kill me for spending too much time playing. http://www.bradwood.com/blog/ingress Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:44:00 GMT brad@bradwood.com (Brad Wood) Hobbies Ingress http://www.bradwood.com/blog/ingress test http://www.bradwood.com/blog Tue, 27 Aug 2013 17:29:00 GMT brad@bradwood.com (Brad Wood) Uncategorized http://www.bradwood.com/blog My name is Brad Wood I program CFML SQL JS NoSQL Java I build/fix things Cars Small-engine things Woodworking I like to make music Acousticguitar Electric guitar Bass Drums Trumpet Clarinet I have a family Wife - Rachel Oldest - Alexis Middle - Eliza Youngest - Olivia I am a Christian I attend Faith Journey Church in Olathe, KS I love to play in our worship band (see music section above) http://www.bradwood.com/about Tue, 27 Aug 2013 17:21:00 GMT brad@bradwood.com (Brad Wood) Uncategorized http://www.bradwood.com/about Well, I've done it. I've finally gotten rid of that horrible-looking experiment I started so many years ago in College called "Brad learns ColdFusion and table-based HTML". I have converted my site over to ContentBox which is an awesome CFML CMS. I'll try to add some more junk here soon. I'll also make it so old links to .cfm pages still work in the meantime until I can get redirects in place. If you want some content, try checking out my Tech blog located at:http://www.codersrevolution.com/ I've also just started a fun project. It's a Raspberry Pi 2 running a CFML blog:http://pi.bradwood.com/ http://www.bradwood.com/home Tue, 27 Aug 2013 07:17:00 GMT brad@bradwood.com (Brad Wood) Uncategorized http://www.bradwood.com/home
