Our "10 Seconds" used the translation of seconds to mean a nautical distace (using the angle of seconds and the distance at the surface of the ocean) to be 101.4 feet. Or just over 1014 feet.

You pilot a pirate ship, trying to be the first to reach shore with your bounty and escapse certian death. Watch out for the dangers of the sea - rocks, sand bars and the Charybdis.

Controls are Left and Right to steer the ship. 'Z' to shoot left, 'X' to shoot forward, 'C' to shoot right.

I'm not able to run it on Linux :(

Did it give an error message?

I was wondering when I would find one that interpreted the theme that way! This must get really hectic with a bunch of people. Reminds me of Mariokart.

I'd like to try this out with a friend later tonight, but it's still really cool to play solo, just as a concept. Well done!

I'm so bad at this haha! Cool concept, it's quite challenging, and I bet it's a fun multiplayer experience. Good job!

On Linux I get this:
./Charybdis: error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
LD_LAN_Partyauthor27 Aug 2013, 22:02
I have updated the Linux archive to include libGLEW.so.1.7

The linux build worked for me on arch. I really enjoyed the music and how the ship spins around when it gets in a whirlpool

Might be more enjoyable multiplayer, but I didn't find the solo game to be that interesting. I love the interpretation of the theme though (and am hoping to find more games that went this route with it).

For a start, I love the sounds but the controls of the boat are a bit off. You might be trying to simulate boat but it is making the game somewhat unplayable and way too hard.
Good entry overall, nice job. :)

Had to end process to make the music stop, and the game was kind of funky getting used to, other than that great work!

At the end, if you win, it crashes for me.

Good game and good graphics but the game crash after it shows me my score. I have to restart it each time. But great job however.

Not bad, but I managed to get stuck against two rocks during one of my gameplays, with no way out of it. Takes you out of the gaming mood a bit.
