Movement: WASD or Arrow Keys
(Unlimited) Salt: HOLD space key
Game Play
----------
Salt the slugs before they eat your shrooms! Move on your farm using arrow keys or WASD. Use your salt shaker (Hold Space Key) to salt the slugs. The slugs can only tolerate so much salt before they disappear. Slay all of the slugs to win the game!
You will need a WebGL-enabled browser to play this. If you don't get a "yay" from http://doesmybrowsersupportwebgl.com/
you won't be able to play it.
Development
------------
Taking up the keynote speaker's challenge, I programmed this in Clojurescript and WebGL using the Three.js library. Though moderately proficient in Clojurescript, I've never made a game in it. I've only been learning WebGL for a few weeks through tutorials and this is my first WebGL creation.
Considering I was tackling a new beast, I chose to draw upon my experience with 2D Canvas game making so I created a 2D game. I was trying for a Compo entry, but I'll be damned if I wasn't going to have something to show for LD#32 so it's a Jam entry. This wasn't truly a game until 20 mins before the Jam ended!
I also made more complex graphics this time, including some basic animations. All assets are my own.
I had a huge blast, but I am glad it is over with something to show! This really pushed my knowledge of web technologies. I actually learned some new things about Clojurescript, WebGL and animation production along the way.
Tools & Libraries
---------------
Emacs, Gimp
