Uplighter<\/em> was my entry for the Light & Darkness theme. It was a puzzle game centered on lighting up levels to certain percent by, among other things, placing lights, breaking down walls, and removing light sinks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s was my first entry to feature 3D, although all gameplay and lighting is really in 2D, and it was also my first entry to not use Allegro. Instead it used GLFW, which is more lightweight, and I really didn\u2019t need all the extra stuff from Allegro.<\/p>\n

Uplighter<\/em> is probably my best and most innovative LD entry so far\u2014it placed first in \u2018innovation\u2019, second in \u2018fun\u2019, and also won the \u2018Best In Show\u2019 award.<\/p>\n

You can get the compo version of Uplighter<\/em><\/a>. It\u2019s for Windows, but there\u2019s a shell script<\/a> (kindly provided by alar_k after the compo) that will fix stuff so it will compile for linux. You\u2019ll need GLFW, GLFT, FMod and FreeType2.<\/p>\n

Small notice: After the compo, it was reported to run very slowly on 3.0+ GHz machines. I\u2019m still not sure what that was all about, but it has been reported that this can be fixed by compiling it in VS. If this is still much of a problem, I might get around to fix it myself.<\/em><\/p>\n
