A bit dull in single player, would probably be better in multiplayer. Also might help if the AI didn't get stuck on walls occasionally.\r\rLike Llama said, would be good if the characters physically grew as they ate more (so you could see who was winning without looking at the health bars out of the way). Also would be nice if there was an icon somewhere showing you what ability you had ready to use."},{"author_name":"bazz_boyy","author_uid":"62468","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 10:24am","epoch":1450174740,"text":"Not bad dude, your ai programming is really nice, except when they get stuck on walls.

Feel free to ask any questions. Seeing as you can't reply through this website I'll just answer the most frequently asked questions. \r\rFirstly, the theme. This game (as far as we're aware) works with both themes. The game includes growing (in mass) and two buttons (and mouse movement). \r\rWe wanted to do growing but found it messed up path finding too much (and we weren't reprogramming that) so we settled with what we had. We plan to add this in the future.\r\rSound was yet again a time constraint. I was fairly busy (sadly) throughout the challenge and didn't have much time. Zac (the mastermind behind the coding) was too busy working on code to work on sound. Yet again, something for the future.\r\rHope this answers any questions. If you have more please comment and I will reply asap. \r\r-William"},{"author_name":"zenmumbler","author_uid":"17143","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 11:37pm","epoch":1450222320,"text":"Within 10 seconds all my opponents were stuck running into various walls and corners and I picked up the food, but it didn't seem clicking left or right did anything?
