LHC by Datw

[raw]
made by Datw for LD23 (COMPO)
The Logic: Tiny World = Sub-Atomic Quantic World :)

The game has no sounds, partially because i thought it wouldn't make sense, and partially because i'm lazy.

The game has no sprites either, i just thought it wouldn't need, and i suck at spriting.

It was made in Java, but i do NOT recommend you to check the source...

If you got any questions on why it is like it is, check some quantum physics or particle physics on the wiki (No, the game is not a simulator, it just use the base, but the values and some mechanics are really different e.g. gravity)

Finally, im happy with the game, my goal was only to make a game and help out with the 1k thingie. And, i had lots of fun xD.

The game seems like it has a compelling premise, but I couldn't really tell how my actions were affecting the game other than by repelling electrons, and it seemed as if interaction wasn't strictly required. I think indirect control systems need more feedback than this game involves.

On a technical note, I ran this in Chrome on a Macbook pro, and it seemed very jerky.

So I observed the electrons a lot until all the atoms turned grey, then I let them fall out the bottom.

I'm only an engineer though; I should let a scientist interpret the result.

Quarkanoid! This is a pretty funny game though it doesn't really have gameplay that I can discern (doesn't bother me :)). A good concept and a good interpretation of the theme.

Interesting take on the theme!

I liked how you handled "observing" electrons, and representing their motion.

More visual feedback (some indication of when, where, & why you're getting points) would significantly improve gameplay, I think.

I couldn't actually get this game to run, it froze my browser every time I tried to run it, im not really sure why. I tried both Chrome and Firefox.

Not bad, but a little bit boring after a while.

Great job on finishing LD! Unfortunately I couldn't figure out what to do, and the instructions didn't help. They told me lots about what was positive and what was negative, but I wasn't able to figure out my goal or objective. As far as I could tell pressing space would turn things grey...I do like the LHC though.

I had the same issue as Julian- Chrome on OSX is glitchy.

Other than that, I didn't have a clue what was going on, and whether what I was doing was actually doing anything at all. I did score 80+ points though... not sure how.

I might potentially have had an aneurysm. Awesome!
