So I will put them on this page till tomorrow maybe. I might also upload a timelapse.\r\n\r\n=======================\r\n===GAME IS FIXED NOW===\r\n\r\n==Java 7 required==\r\n\r\nIf you download the source it should include a compile.bat file so you mess with the code more easily. The code is somewhat messy because I started panicking when time was running out.\r\n\r\nWhy I made this:\r\nI was thinking about a game where it would be a top down robot shooter where you character would evolve into something bigger and has more guns. Then I decided you should maybe be in space flying from planet to planet getting things to prepare for a big planet where you get a device that basically lets you evolve into a dog and then it shows you 3 years before saying \"I wanna be a dog\" - the end\r\n\r\nBut I realized it was stupid and I would've run out of time anyway. So I tried making a city building game where your city evolves as you defend it. There was supposed to be bosses and different enemy types and they would attack in waves but I ran out of time. You will find the extra images in the source. I also tried making workers go from place to place doing the jobs as enemies killed them with you defending. But I didn't have time to fix the bugs. There supposed to be a larger map too. Try imagining what it should've been like and then go play it and realize how bad it is. I may make a post compo version.\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:\r\nControl - switch between fire and build mode\r\nClick - Place building\/Shoot\r\nW\/S forward and backward\r\nA\/D turn robot when in build mode (in fire mode it follows your cursor)\r\n\r\nOther instructions:\r\nShoot the other robots.\r\nThere are three building types:\r\nMiner - gets stone to make more mines houses and farms\r\nFarm - makes food\r\nHouse - (you only need one of these, but you must have at least one) makes workers for every 5 food\r\nThe only purpose of buildings is to increase score.<\/p>","title":"RobotCity"}
