Got this warning every time I ran it and it for some reason didn't work when I tried with terminal but ran just fine when I opened it from iTerm.

The whole giving and taking life thing wasn't very clear. I mean, if I was even doing it correctly (sure there was some color change I think) and what it did. I guess the bad red stuff was killing me and I could use the family members to get more life. But what is the point of taking their life, didn't seem to give any score or nothing.

And one time the game opened with no red words at all, thanks for the infinite score! What is the max int in Rust, you can set that as my hi-score :sunglasses:

And yeah, gotta love to see some obscure engine choices in this se of Unity and Godot. Good job!

@antti-haavikko Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such great feed back. So yes, I turned off this amethst's logging system because it will flood your terminal with a bunch of debugging information. I suppose the executable wasn't much of a fan of that.

So what you achieved when you opened the game and no red words appeared means a red word probably spawned on your location. If you happen to crash into all the red words, the system will no longer be able to spawn new words and you "win" in the broadest sense of the word. This is a bug but I'm telling people this is a feature.

Also for the controls it really requires you to hold down the key and hover constantly over a family member.

Thank you again for playing my game.

Does amethyst not work on wasm yet? Compiling from source takes very long time. At least binary for Windows/Linux shouldn't be hard.

Anyway, nice job with Rust, Rust is cool :)

@kuviman Amethyst just got a grant to finish work on wasm so hopefully sometime soon. I'll work on getting a Windows/Linux binary but targeting from Mac OS seems to require some Windows libraries. I'll update if I get it working.

Thank you. Rust is cool!
