Paleo Showdown

Race across Wyoming, Utah and Colorado to find dinosaur fossils before your opponents get there first. The competition is ruthless, so be prepared to defend your finds in a fist fight! Based on the real life "Bone Wars" between Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope between 1877 and 1892.

The major challenge of this project was the enemy AI. In the end, time did not permit us to successfully implement the full enemy behavior we had in mind, but we chose to leave what we currently have in-game.
