The most ridiculous game I’ve ever made.

They Launched a Probe!

 

It’s not a great experience playing my game for the first time. First thing you need to do? Read a few pages of documentation, learn javascript and remember your vector maths from school…

They Launched A Probe is a game where you need to program the 3 CPUs on a deep space probe that is trying to scan planets FOR SCIENCE!

I’m fairly certain that no-one is going to jump through the hoops required to have a go at this game. It’s niche and complicated, but if you do get into it, imagine the sense of achievement of successfully filling up that Science bar, and then sharing your code with other players? (No idea how sharing will work? Maybe a Gist and a twitter hashtag? #probelaunched?)

I had a great time making it. And I’m pretty sure I’m going to do some more work on it. So I’m not too worried about getting ratings, but still it would be nice to get enough ratings to place so if you do know javascript and vector maths

have a go. 

Most games end in an explosion.

P.S. wondering about the name? It’s from a song by The Winter Olympics: The Winter Olympics – They Launched a Probe
