In order to play the game, simply download it, extract everything from the zip-archive and run "Quest For Matter.jar" in the QuestForMatter folder. Sometimes a folder named "MAC_OS" or something like that is included. I don't know why, but I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that I compressed the folder in Mac OS X. However, this folder does not seem to serve a purpose and everything needed for the game should be included in the QuestForMatter folder.

Quest For Matter

Made by Emanuel Gedin for Ludum Dare 23.

Theme: Tiny World

Instructions:

Control the yellow particle and collect green matter while avoiding the red matter.

Controls:

Use W, A, S, D or the arrow keys to move.

Hold LShift to move faster.

Press SPACE at the gameover-screen to restart.

Press ESC to quit the game.

Press CTRL + F to toggle fullscreen mode.

The game and source code is available for download for free, however, I would appreciate if the game and source code is not redistributed for commercial purposes.

The game is written in java using LWJGL(Light Weight Java Game Library) and slick-util. Resources for the game are made in Adobe Photoshop Elements and sfxr.

Most of the code was written during the competition, however, I copied some of the basic code from my earlier projects. This base code is mainly found in:

ld23.game.Game (setup code)

ld23.game.Input

ld23.player.Camera

ld23.sound.SoundEffect
