Here\u2019s my entry. You control a spider that is in dire need of getting more legs. Sort of.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Download<\/strong>\nWindows 32-bit binary with D source<\/a><\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong>\nCollect all powerups to complete level. This will give you a time bonus.\nIf time runs out or if you fall outside the world, the level ends, but you are left with the score you got for any collected powerups.<\/p>\n

Controls<\/strong>\nEnter to start game.\nEsc to quit (also at level over etc).\nLeft click\/hold to set target. Speed based on distance.\nRight click\/hold to set target and jump.<\/p>\n

Hints<\/strong>\nYou need to walk slowly to round edges.\nYou can only sort of jump away from the current surface you are on.<\/p>\n

Source<\/strong>\nSome source was previously written, but only sort of texture loading, font rendering and some init code.<\/p>\n

Uses GLFW, FModEx, sfxr and some other stuff.<\/p>\n

Also, note that the title bar is a total lier. The game did not take 32h to make, but 40h. That math is tricky stuff.<\/p>\n

(For the framework stuff, the score is read from and written to \u2018score.txt\u2019.)<\/p>\n
