Be a little shape and wonder around a white canvas converting other entities to your shape. Plant your seed in them and then push them close to other entities to make them connect and make music together!
Controls:
Movement = wasd
Seed = left click
Push other entities around = space
Manipulate sliders = right click (hold in shift and drag up/down for more precise control)
Instructions
Change your shape by manipulating the sliders in the bottom right. Shapes are generated by the Superformula, a cool mathematic function that can produce a variety of different outcomes. Every entity has a specific sound, and this is generated by taking into account the parameters of the Superformula. Different shapes will thus sound differently.
When two entities are close to each other, they form a connection and start sending signals to each other. When a signal hits an entity, it produces a sound.
The little squares at the edges of the screen tell you in which direction you can find an entity.
The goal of the game is simply to have a little fun with these sound producing, shapeshifting blobbies!
Known issues:
-The game is pretty heavy, and will probably start to lag sooner or later, depending on your computer.
-I have no idea if the Linux build works
-A bunch more that I'm too tired to remember :)
Note to those that want to look at the source:
You need Processing 3.x and Beads to play around with it.
