Drawing those symbols is really difficult. I'm not sure but maybe something like &quot;dropping&quot; points that affect gravity would help drawing the symbols. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Would be also nice to have a better indication about what exactly I need to draw.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If you want to expand, you can add another planet there to affect things... and then third one, and some meteors and whatnot.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice entry.

This takes some time, so it will recognize the shape sooner when all particles follow the same path).\r\n\r\nThe particles are supposed to turn clockwise.\r\n\r\n=============== REWARD ============\r\nTHE GAME IS QUITE HARD\r\nso if you do manage to finish it: send me a screen shot at 'LD30@goerp.nl' and I'll reward you with a trophy!\r\n\r\n=============== POST COMPO ==============\r\nThe post compo version should give more hints on what is expected of you, what is wrong with the symbol. The rest of the game is identical to the original.\r\n\r\n====================================\r\nAll music, graphics and coding done in 72 hours by me, and afterwards some bugs solved that made the game unfinishable. \r\n\r\nI used the Starling Framework and the Camera Class from the Citrus Framework.\r\nMusic on guitar with a Zoomg3X for effects and AquesTone for the singing.\r\n\r\n============ FIXED PERFORMANCE HTML ================\r\nEDIT 27-8: I fixed the performance issues with the html version, it was sooo slow, only a superhuman would be able to finish the game (it affects the other versions too, because they are all the same file really (swf)).\r\n\r\n=============== BUGS ========================\r\nUpdate: 30-8: I found a game breaking bug (it made the game as good as impossible to finish). \r\nI fixed it, and I have myself finished the game in 10 minutes, so it is possible.\r\n\r\nThe game uses a home made simple shape recognition and it might not be what you expect.\r\nIf you have something that you think should be the right shape, but does not get recognized, please if you could make a screenshot and send it to: \r\nLD30@goerp.nl\r\n\r\n","title":"Worlds apart"}
