Planet Escape


The game was meant for the compo but instead of ``running out of space`` I ran out of time and was not happy with the result.
I took an extra day for some polishing.

I am still not very happy with the result but at least enough to upload it.

The goal is to build a Dyson sphere because you are running out of space on your home planet.

Gameplay is simple: build, research and keep your people happy.

TUTORIAL TIME:


Since I did not have enough time left to do an in-game tutorial this time. Some pointers here

MAIN GOAL:

You need to build a Dyson sphere, you will need to do this colonizing all the planets and research the "Dyson parts",
Each planet can only research one part and you will need 5 parts to win the game.

Colonize planets:

You can colonize a planet by sending a ship to the planet. Do this by
* Click on a planet (initially Eurth)
* Go to build
* Chose Colony ship (when you have enough resources)
* When Ship is built click it.
* Then click on the planet you want to colonize (you can use the left menu to go instantly to a planet)
* That's it now wait x number of turns, the further away the planet the more turns it takes.

Research:


You can research some things to make your live easier.
All research except for Furrication And Soylent are a one time thing

Build:

You can build things to give you food, ships or resources. It is probably wise to first build a mine

```
NOTE!!!
For now food is only used for build possibilities
```

Your build / research / colonization is done.


When a job finishes you will see a Red exclamation mark in the left planet menu on top of the planet where the job was done

I want to win


As said you want to build a Dyson sphere you need to build all 5 parts to win

I don't want to lose


Well losing can happen if the happiness on any of your planets gets 0 or less.

General info

Important to note. Initially, a Spaceship overview screen was intended but did not make it in the end

When you click a spaceship you can use the planets on the left to navigate to that planet and order the ship to go there.
The ship will disappear while it is in transit from one planet to the other. The further away the planet is the more turns it takes.

You lose when one of your planets have 0 happiness left. You win when you colonize all planets and let each of them create a Dyson sphere part

I am guessing some bugs still remain, feel free to comment one if you find it I will update the list below so people will know:

KNOWN ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Right now there is no check on population when sending a ship so it is possible to get minus population. (easy way to win I guess)
Same happens with some of the researches
