You NEED JAVA 6+. An operational web camera is also recommended, but you can play with a mouse if you don't have a web cam although you will probably find it a bit easy. To get rid of the mouse-controlled player, move the mouse to the edge of the screen.
Double-clicking on the downloaded jar file should launch the game (you may need to change your security settings in OSX). Try and ensure your face has good lighting otherwise the game might not be able to see you. The escape key exits.
Game intended to connect our world with the game world using computer vision. Try not to take an asteroid to the face.
Currently tested on OSX and Windows 7. There are libraries for linux included, but I have no idea if they work. Let me know what kind of computer you have if you hit problems. If you really want to do me a solid, run the jar from the command line and dump the error output (if any) in the comment box. Something like
java -jar LD30-assembly-1.2.jar
should kick it off.
If you don't already have it installed, Java can be downloaded from Oracle here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html
It works with multiplayer by having two+ people stand in front of the camera, but it sometimes get confused about who is who. It also seems to effect the face recognition's reliability, but it is pretty funny

After break 3 or 4 stones the game breaks.
And shoot a lot wkith powerups is always good fun.
The idea is really fun, and generally the player would follow my "head", but the game paused all the time -- not sure if because of the lighting in my room or what. I would certainly enjoy a more well calibrated version of the game, but good job anyway!
