I worked with the HaXe plugin for MonoDevelop 3. This time I actually made a plan for what I'm gonna do and it worked out great ! I had core gameplay already the first day and even had time to put in screenshake O_O. Normally I haven't even thought about sounds before the deadline.\r\n\r\nWhy 'Lump of Butter' ? \r\nIt's a direct translation of the danish word 'sm\u00f8rklat', which also is the name of the game known in english as: \r\n- \"Keep Away, Monkey in the Middle, Piggy in the Middle, Pickle in a Dish, or Pickle in the Middle\"  - Wikipedia\r\n\r\nBut I want to see how you made it. And also look at your pretty face!\r\n- Ok. ok, calm down! I've got it sorted. Timelapse:     http:\/\/youtu.be\/vi-PvJZREis \r\n\r\nBut I want to see the actual code!\r\n- Ok. here! GitHub:    https:\/\/github.com\/askepen\/lump-of-butter\r\n\r\nWHATS HAPPENING ON THE SCREEN:   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \r\n  \r\n2 player:\r\n    There is a lump of butter, that is slowly melting. When there's no more butter the game ends. \r\n    If a character on your team has the butter, you control that player, else Every time you throw the butter, you change to a new player on your team.\r\n  \r\n  1 player:\r\n    The same as above, except the other team of players is switched out by a dog, that is hungry for butter.\r\n\r\n\r\n\/\/Update: I have removed the \"raw flash game\" because there was a bug, where you could run as far out as your browser was wide.. (You can still access it from the bottom of the website version )\r\n\r\nAnyway,\r\n\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \r\n\r\n(consider plugging a controller in, much better experience, seriously)\r\n\r\nPlayer 1: \r\n-    Arrow Keys - move\r\n-    J  - aim <\r\n-    K - throw butter\r\n-    L - aim >\r\n\r\nPlayer 2: \r\n-    WASD - move \r\n-    Z - aim <\r\n-    X - throw butter\r\n-    C - aim >\r\n\r\nR to restart \r\n\r\n\r\nSuggestion for controller mapping:\r\n   -WASD - left stick\r\n   -Z        - right bumper\r\n   -C        - left bumper\r\n   -X        - A \/ cross\r\n\r\n   -R        - select \/ start\r\n\r\n\r\nGAMEPLAY: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \r\n\r\nSingle player:\r\n- Don't let the dog get the butter.
