Keep a cool head!

Keep a cool head! is a fun strategy board game for 2, 3, or 4 players that is inspired by the classic games "Ludo" and "Mensch ärgere dich nicht". It also offers a single player mode where you can play against the computer. The game allows you to fully customize its graphics and sounds to your liking.

To start playing the game, you must first enter at least two player names in the "Settings --> Players" menu. Until a player has a figure on the board, the computer throws the dice three times. If a six is rolled during these throws, a figure is placed on the starting spot, and the player gets to roll the dice again. When the message "Click on figure" is displayed, the player must select a figure to move. If another six is rolled, the player can choose to start with another figure if they haven't started all their figures yet. After starting a new figure, the player must immediately move it off the starting spot.

Keep a cool head! allows you to customize the graphics and sounds of the game. The graphics files are located in the directory "gfx" and can be changed to your liking. The game includes several customizable graphical elements, including the board, road, start/finish spots, and figures. The graphics formats and sizes are as follows:
