Oats For My Goats | @oats@social.solarpunk.au

a rogue-like game about collecting oats... and inter-dimensional teleportation!

i was watching a nature documentary with my girlfriend, and it gave me an idea for a mini game--

the segment of the doco was on these goats with enormous horns; and true to form they battled each other with those horns.

the concept for the mini game is simple enough, you have to mash two keys on the keyboard to "build up power" for your next round of horn-locking...

or maybe it could be like a meter that swings, and you have to press your button on the 'sweet spot' of the target on the meter?

I was thinking perhaps I would change Oats For My Goats into something more similar to the fedi bots that post lil unicode gardens or desert landscapes.

I cannot seem to decide how any game mechanics would work in a roguelike version.

please follow @oats for updates (:

replaced the robot chasing code with randomly generated movement.
two emacs buffers. oats.bas on the left, chase.bas on the right.

starting to lay down a little bit of code!
two buffers in emacs. one of the game chase.bas, and one of the first draft of oats.bas
