Turf best game and exercise App for Android and now also for iPhone!

How to start Turf

(http://vstps.mine.nu/Turf/collage.jpg)

Note! The app is totally free just your telecom providers fee for data traffic.


1. Download Turf

 Dowload Turf from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.turfwars.android) or Apple App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/se/app/id651577273) by searching for "turf".

2. Start Turf
 
 Start the Turf application and follow the tutorial. (Don't forget to press the button in the lower left corner to activate the GPS if you skip the tutorial.)

3. Take zones
 
 Go to any red or yellow zone and stand inside it with your mobile phone to take it.

4. Win
 
 Earn medals by performing special tasks. Win real life prizes by placing yourself first in a round of Turf (every month). Become Region lord by owning the most zones in a region. And much more...

What is Turf?

Zones

 A zone can have 4 colors, clicking a zone brings up the zone information. A red zone color means it is owned by someone else. Yellow indicates no one owns it yet. Green indicates that you own the zone. White just indicates that the zone is selected and has no tactical importance. When a zone is shown as striped it means that the zone is blocked. A zone becomes blocked up to 30 minutes after someone has taken it. A blocked zone can not be taken.

The game layout

 The bar on the top of the map is indicating your current status.
(http://turfgame.com/images/howto_topbar.png)
 The left value with the + sign indicates how many points you currently gain per hour. The right value with the 'z' indicates how many zones you currently have. The numbers in the middle shows your current points. The thin bar below the points show how much more you'll need to gain one level.

(http://vstps.mine.nu/Turf/DSC_3250.jpg)


Indicators
 
 The green person indicates your position. The yellow person sitting on a cloud is your position calculated by wireless networks, but since its not as precise as GPS you cannot take any zones with this location, it’s only to get the map to center on your location as fast as possible. The red person indicates someone elses position, pressing it brings up the user information. The orange alert indicates that someone is taking or has taken a zone that is not yours. The red alert indicates that one of your zones has been taken. The green alert with a plus sign is indicating that its a brand new zone on that place.

No this is more RL. :D
You have the choirs to select the transportation behind the zones.
Walk, Car, Bicycle, Train, Boat, Motorcycle, Ski, Bobsleigh or what ever you chose. ;)
The trick from this app is to cheat you to move you ass from the sofa. :D

Yes I have both my own mailserver and web server at home. It is running as virtualservers on a computer. I have worked as IT professional since about 1994 and ther is thing you have not time in the work to work with so this is a way also the have the knowledge active.

No I'm not in the Turf Team. I have just in July started the use Turf as a exceeds motivator to get out and do some thing after I have worked. And it is a good addiction to have because of the gaming moment even if you are not in the top of the list you can at lest get some motivation to get some different kind tasks and medals. ;)
Their have also been something call Turf Bonanza and their is a Turfing session that Turfers get to gether in a town and get for the Turf Teem some temporary zons in a aria and hunt them down under a short time like 2 hours as a competition. Se more about the Turf Bonanza in the Turf Wiki.
So to answer your question I am currently addicted to this. ;)

I have one server hat have different rules in virtual servers. Their is one virtual mail server and one virtual web server in the same HW. That make the servers easier to move over to new HW when I want.
The base HW and OS have other rules also in my network at home.

I currently use the free of charge Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2.

For my virtualisation on a old Windows 2003 Server computer. ;)

Her is a map you can zoom in in the area to find the zones in the area you are interested of.

http://turfgame.com/map_fullscreen.php (http://turfgame.com/map_fullscreen.php)

If you start Turfing you have the ability to start give advise where to place new zones in that area you want to have zones in.
To spared the knowledge about Turf can give your Turf medals. ;) So more Turfers more compete and funnier game.

The more the merrier !  O0

Some one need to begin. To see real activities look at Sweden and the larger town their. ;)

There was more activity under the summer month. Probably autumn is to hard to be out on a bicycle in the Netherlands.
To cold and not as we have in the Nordic country's around 0 degree C. ;)

Probably that is caused by that there is no Vikings in Netherlands. :D
