And here it is the all new exciting adventures of everyones favorite Psychic Trash Robot. His insane creator has put in him a gauntlet of (badly simulated :P) physics challenges and he must escape!
GOAL: Getting from Left to Right!
CONTROLS: Left/Right = A/D Jump = SPACE Telekinesis = Right Mouse Drag Esc = Exit
And by telekinesis I mean that you can drag any purple coloured objects around with the right mouse button :). As a further note the jumping can be done every 2 seconds even if you are not touching the ground.
As far as I am aware there are two ways by which you can break the puzzles. A toast to anyone who discovers them!
All of the Graphics and Physics engine have been written by myself in C++, so please be gentle if it is slightly buggy :3
To Linux Users: This game requires 2 libraries that you get with the following commands, sudo apt-get install libglfw sudo apt-get install libdevil1c2
Well that is my submission to Ludum Dare 21. Hope you enjoy it!
EDIT: Windows executable is now up! HUZZAH! I had some problems getting it to work for god knows what reason. Feel free to let me know if it crashes on you or otherwise does mean things :)
EDIT EDIT: I should probably have mentioned that both the Linux and Windows version is compiled for 64-bit. I will include a makefile with the source so you 32-bit Linux user can compile it.
I couldn't get this game to run on my 32-bit Ubuntu 10.10 box.
$ ./"Escape of The Psychic Trash Robot" bash: ./Escape of The Psychic Trash Robot: cannot execute binary file
I installed libdevil1c2 and libglfw2 (couldn't find libglfw)
I tried to compile from source, but couldn't figure out which -dev packages I needed. I got libglfw-dev and glutg3-dev but I am not sure what package has IL/il.h
james@rhinoctopus:~/misc/games/ludumdare/2011/RobotSrc$ gcc main.cppIn file included from main.cpp:1: Core/GraphicsCore.hpp:20: fatal error: IL/il.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.
The reason it won't run on 32-bit is that the game is compiled on a 64-bit linux. And unfortunately I don't know to force gcc to compile 32-bit binaries :( As far as I can see you will only need DevIL which you can get with the following command,
The game works for me too, although I think I had trouble before. It's pretty good - congratulations on getting a game done. Some constructive criticism: the slidey controls make me kinda frustrated - it could have controlled a lot better, and sometimes I would fall realllly far down and have a long boring time getting back up. But still - the game is solid and kinda neat. Good work.
hmm that is most likely because the windows version was compiled on a 64-bit system. Sorry for all the trouble but I am a bit of a noob when i comes to distributing compiled c++ code :(
Alrigthy the makefile for linux is up now, sorry for the delay :) You have to mount the folder called Release in order to make the program, and you will need the libraries which can be obtained with the following commands,

Hope you can get it to work!
I love the panicky jump-animation. Level-design is also quite balanced.

Oh and Achievement Unlocked Kayamon! :D
Guess I will have to rethink my level design a bit.
