Pretty buggy, but would be nice if polished and more options.\rHere's all the bugs I noticed:\rHouses can be stacked on top of eachother.\rPlacing houses next to eachother overlaps text.\rWould be nice if text would disappear after a while.\rpeople in houses next to respective resources do not gather.\rVillagers gather from trees that are far away rather than the ones right next to the houses.\rWould be nice if they moved faster.\rGame was too big for screen, so I have to keep scrolling up and down and to the side.\rGame crashed when I went to the second island.\rHope that helps!\rOtherwise, it's cool and has potential.

Spent a while getting the isometric engine working and only had Sunday to implement the gameplay, because of this I decided to use Monday too so as to create the best game I could :D \r\n\r\nThis is a strategy game based around you supplying small 'builders' with the wood and stone needed to create to bridges towards their aim: an array of 'mystical' portals...\r\n\r\nYou'll have to set up a few wood and stone providers first before placing your builders! Each builder takes 20 wood and 20 stone out of your stores which need to be constantly replenished. \r\n\r\nTo select a tile to place click one of the images at the top of the screen!\r\n\r\nI made this game on my own using vanilla JavaScript (using the html5 canvas api) and gimp. Also thanks goes to my friend for creating some of the tile images.\r\n\r\nI recommend that you play in full screen!\r\n\r\nIf you wish to mess with the source code, make sure node.js is installed and then issue the following commands:\r\n\r\nnpm install\r\nsudo npm install supervisor -g \r\nnpm start\r\n\r\nServer should be running on 127.0.0.1:3000\r\n\r\n\r\nKnown Issues:\r\n Running Slowly: Check to see if hardware acceleration is enabled in your browser: chrome:\/\/flags then enable Override software rendering list\r\nCannot select tile:\r\n Click one of the images at the top of the page (the list of three), this will change the tile.\r\nCrashing at 2nd island:\r\n Sorry that was me! Forgot to commit the portal texture :D","title":"IsoWorlds"}
