I hope you'll have fun :)\r\n\r\nRULES : \r\nA RED cube is a cube you possess.\r\nA BLUE cube is a scanned and free cube.\r\nA GREEN cube is a guardian. They are your enemies.\r\n\r\nYou start as a RED cube. You need to reach the GOLDEN cube by creating a control path to it.\r\nYou can SCAN the neighbors of BLUE \/ RED cubes by right-clicking on it. Neighbors will reveal their colors.\r\nYou can CONTROL the neighbors of a RED cube by left-clicking on it ONCE it has been scanned.\r\nYou can CREATE links by dragging your mouse between two cubes (only in a horizontal or vertical way).\r\n\r\nNotice :\r\n\r\n1) The content is randomly generated. That means sometimes, a game can't be won, and sometimes, it's too easy. 'Cause like a villain, life is unfair !\r\n\r\n2) Two actions can be made on the same case, the time counter will show only the last one (but both actions will occur).\r\n\r\n3) There's also a little bug that allow players to cheat. \r\nTry to find it ;)\r\n\r\nAbout the theme :\r\nI was not very inspired by the theme. You play an evil cube trying to infect the others. Maybe original, but I could have done far better !\r\n\r\nAbout the music : Made with MuLabs (Window, free version).\r\n\r\nAbout the graphics : Photoshop, some fonts from dafont and code only.\r\n\r\nAbout the light system : Inspired from an article on the SFML wiki.\r\n\r\nFeel free to ask anything !\r\n\r\nWindows notes : The game might not be able to run on old \/ integrated GPU (I use shaders). 64bits only; otherwise, please compile from the source with latest SFML revision\r\n\r\nLinux notes : You need SFMl to be installed on your system. 64bits only; otherwise, please compile from the source with latest SFML revision\r\n\r\nDev notes :\r\nSource code is awful. The last hours were kinda rushed, so you'll find horrible things. This was my IRL-RPG interpretation of \"You're the villain !\"\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>","title":"Cube Infection"}
