Also, when you rotate the camera it seems to change the direction in which objects move when dragged, are they using world coordinates?"}],"images":["ld29\/11718-8bb5e320d53a7dcd582b6ea8b41d59cc.jpg","ld29\/11718-7aa3fe5684e73ca93b92594c7dfc0b60.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/alteredtree.co.uk\/files\/PlanetBuilder\/PlanetBuilder_Win.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/alteredtree.co.uk\/files\/PlanetBuilder\/PlanetBuilder_Lin.zip","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/alteredtree.co.uk\/files\/PlanetBuilder\/PlanetBuilder_Mac.zip","text":"Mac"},{"url":"http:\/\/alteredtree.co.uk\/files\/PlanetBuilder\/PlanetBuilder_src.zip","text":"Source"},{"url":"http:\/\/sasha.sector-alpha.net\/~ptsnoop\/PlanetBuilder\/Web.html","text":"Web (Unity)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"18785","g_author":"11718","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"18814","g_title":"Planet Builder","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"214","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/11718-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/11718-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"A planetary engineering game.\r\n\r\nYour job is to create different types of planet - desert, icy, earthlike etc - for different people. What components you put into the planet determine its tectonic activity, temperature, and water content. You're aiming to keep all of these within certain limits. \r\n\r\nUse the buttons on the left to drop new components into the planet.\r\n\r\nThe bad news is, all these components must fit beneath the surface of your planet - no edges sticking out. And you've only got a limited amount of planet-mass to cover things up with - so you'll have to keep things packed closely together, as well as deciding carefully what you can get away with leaving out.\r\n\r\nComponents can be dragged around - a bit - but it's by no means easy to get things where you want them. Be careful!\r\n\r\nThe right mouse button lets you rotate the camera.\r\n\r\nOn the right of the screen, you'll see the current stats for your planet, as well as the details for your current planet type, and the planet type you're aiming for. Once you've constructed the right type of planet, you'll get a \"Complete\" button that'll take you to the next level.\r\n\r\nThere are five levels in total. Good luck!\r\n\r\nAll planet surfaces generated using http:\/\/donjon.bin.sh\/world\/ .","title":"Planet Builder"}
