Cruithne

What was your inspiration for the game?

The game was made for the miniLD, with the theme of 'contrast'.  My plan was originally to have a spaceship that had to kamikaze dive-bomb a base, but that soon changed into the infinately pretty dark hole.

The storyline was inspired by a quote from Civilization IV: "'Beep... Beep... Beep...' - Sputnik 1". Indeed. I suppose you have to have played it to understand where it's from.

Did you run into any challenges while creating the game?

I learned a lot about the use of coordinate geometry

Do you have any future plans for the game?

I would love to bring the character of Cruithne into another game. I really enjoyed doing this, and am sure I'll come back to it at some point.

How are other people allowed to use your source?

Do with it what you will. You can rearrange it, copy it, or learn from it. I just ask you nicely not to edit out my name and post it everywhere as your own.

How could your game be improved by others?

There is code implemented to include jets of fire, already in the game. You can play around with that, and make a few levels. I didn't include fire because I didn't like the look of it; you could improve that.

You could just improve some of the sprites should you so wish.
