The larger (bottom) snowball can collect sticks for arms. The smaller head snowball can collect charcoal eyes, a carrot nose, and a top hot. \r\n\r\nAfter you roll the bottom and top snowballs, your resulting snowman is scored, even if he's in pieces!\r\n\r\nPerfect score is 1000.\r\n\r\nAlso note:\r\n\r\nSnowman Ski Jump has no graphics assets. All the graphics are procedural, meaning they drawn by feeding vertices and colors to the renderer. Wanted to do a lot more with this, but ran out of time. Also no sound for the same reason.\r\n\r\nThe game is kind of tricky. Just press 'R' to restart and try again.","title":"Snowman Ski Jump"}
