PICTOCLASH

PICTOCLASH is an open-source art trading game that serves as a FOSS alternative to Art Fight. Taking place during winter break, it divides participants into two teams, each with unique colors and themes. Players, known as Fighters, create artwork featuring characters from the opposing team in a series of "Strikes."

The game incorporates hidden scoring and seven checkpoints throughout the event. Fighters are grouped into guilds based on their artistic background and can earn PictoCash by participating, winning checkpoints, and completing randomly generated "PictoQuests." PictoCash can be spent in the PictoStore, which contains digital assets like brush packs, wallpapers, virtual stickers etc. made by community members and partner artists as well as sponsors. PICTOCLASH supports both visual art and writing.

PICTOCLASH uses a hidden scoring system with seven checkpoints throughout the event. At each checkpoint, the current scores are recorded and the winning team for that checkpoint is determined. After each checkpoint, the internal scores reset. This process repeats seven times, making ties impossible. Scores are calculated based on artwork submitted by members for characters of the opposing team. Players score their own artwork using an honor system. The final result is determined by the number of checkpoints won by each team, not by total points accumulated.
