In a not-too-distant, cliche future, the Earth becomes uninhabitable. Desperate to survive, humans spread throughout the solar system, forming colonies on Mars, Europa, and numerous other worlds. With time, the Earth once again becomes suitable for life, and so begins the rush to recolonize! Numerous government, corporate, and freelance organizations fight to stake their claim, battling tooth and nail to secure any and all plots of land they can.

Do you have the skill to win back the world?

Staker is a 3-D artillery warfare game inspired by the classics Tank Wars and Scorched Earth. I'm developing it in MATLAB. Why MATLAB? Because I've used MATLAB for 12 years for various engineering applications and know it well enough to implement things quickly. I've been working on Staker as a hobby for a while now, using it as a test bed for learning new game design concepts. I plan to eventually compile the game into an executable that can run outside of the MATLAB environment.
