Welcome to Planet Sitter: The Galactic Inquest, a procedurally generated planet management game. You are an alien babysitter for the Galactic Federation, tasked with watching over the newest planets. Watch over the planets' climates, sea levels and populations as they progress through the ages and towards enlightenment!
- Dynamic planetary terrain indicating sea level and temperature shifts.
- Realistic gravity and a custom physics engine
- Coded from scratch with Pygame and a whole lot of math
- Love from the dev team
- Figured out how to spell "Plague" (this misspelling was stopping the event from ever happening)
- Wildfires and blizzards now heat and cool the planet, instead of cooling and heating it. (We got this backwards)
- Enlightenment sound plays even when the game ends on the same frame. (We needed to update the status message as soon as enlightened, not one frame after.)
- Event frequency no longer varies with framerate. (We needed to multiply probability by a factor related to delta time)
- Enlightenment may no longer progress when population is falling. (indent of if statement was one too low)
