Platforms

This uses Monogame, so it should run in Windows, some OS/X, and Linux. (Although there seems to be an issue with high-DPI displays on OS/X that causes mouse input to be wrong, making the game unplayable.)

On OS/X and Linux, you need a recent version of Mono to play the game! In a terminal, "cd" to the directory and run "mono LD35.exe". I haven't had test machines handy, so no guarantee it'll work.

The savegames go in your application data folder, so wherever "Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData" leads. On windows, for example, this could be "C:\Users\31\AppData\Roaming\LD35-Scrapshaper\save.json".

If it crashes (there are a few things that I didn't get a chance to track down) don't worry too much: your amount of scrap is always saved as soon as you pick it up, and you will start from the last hut you visited.

----------

I spent most of my time struggling to implement things in Monogame plus a library I've been working on. There should be a full, playable game here, though.

The sparse sound effects are because there's no sound in space--all you can hear are impacts and engine noise. (Or, at least, that's my excuse!)

Have fun!
