Goal: discover all the energy sources.

The circle around you represents the detection zone.

Don't run out of energy! Two warnings will help you:
- the orange alert when less than 60 % of the energy is left,
- the red alert when less than 50 % of the energy is left.

Done with:
- Python
- pygame
- sfxr
- Audacity

Note: the multi-platform version (for OS/X and Linux) requires additional installations and might not be easy to run if you are not familiar with Python. Check the readme.txt file for the instructions.

Post-mortem: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2009/12/17/post-mortem-4/

Bug fixes:
- 10 minutes after deadline, very minor: the Windows shortcut to the executable was pointing nowhere (removed the shortcut)
- 19 minutes after deadline, minor: the help text above didn't change after the end of a game (fixed)
- 12 hours 1 minute after deadline, serious: wrong game difficulty if the screen resolution is different than 1280x1024 (scaled the game depending on resolution)
- 12 hours 1 minute after deadline, potentially serious: the one-pixel-wide energy gauge might not be displayed on a slightly wrongly set screen (gauge width set to 8 pixels)
