Our professor just introduced us this new cool game called Ingress. The game runs on mobile platform and requires your GPS to locate your position. The game rule is simple, each historical or famous place in the real world is a portal in the game world. We need to deploy the portal to generate energy and gain territory from portals. All players are divided into two factions: the Enlightened and the Resistance. When you hack a portal, you can gain some items such as: resonators with levels to deploy and upgrade, gun to destroy other faction's portal, power cube to regain your XM. XM stands for Exotic Matter, is similar to your mana pool or energy. We need XM to spend for your actions, and while we are walking in real life with the game on, we gain more XM. If we have no XM, our scanner is disabled and could not locate our position so we had better store some power cubes to regain XM in some emergency. The game requires players in each faction to play together in a group, keep coming back to each portal site to recharge the resonators or we can use portal key signet to remotely recharge them. Each player is just a small part of a game, but working together as a faction building your resonators and turrets will easily help you gain more territory and energy to bring your chosen factor to victory.
