Cool game :)
This entry takes the theme of "you start with nothing" quite literally, as there is not even a game in the traditional sense. It is a kind of sandbox programming environment where you can create interesting effects using three types of particles and a custom scripting language. To be honest it was a bit too much for me to handle, it took me 10 minutes to come up with a working command in the game's scripting language and then gave up shortly afterward. It would be cool to see some examples of what is possible though.
This is a really cool idea, I like these coding type of games. I only managed to get particles moving and change colors, but I could not get them to interact with other particles at all. There is surely something I am overlooking with the boolean or property settings. If you do work on this more, a level system where each new command line is introduced one at a time would make it much easier to learn how to use. As it is, the music is very calming and relaxing, and the simple visuals make it clear what is happening. Good effort!
"Too much information".
Very interesting idea but really lacks good starting points, an example is worth a thousand manuals. Also there should probably be more basic geometric operations such as rotating vectors or computing dot and cross products. I also don't understand why there are 3D vectors when the game seems like it just ignores the Z component?
if you can post a web or mac build more people will get to play, give feedbacks and rate :D
I'm impressed how much work seems to have this been put in. Creating programming environment is a crazy idea and I applaud you for that. Sadly, there are no goals to grab interest on.
Interesting idea and good tie-in to the theme. Unfortunately too complicated for a casual play-through which is not optimal for a ldjam game if you want many ratings.
There's so much here! Definitely fitting the theme, difficult to get started but limitless potential!
Awesome game good job on the innovative idea
great, we need to actually write the game ourselves using squares and triangles?
