Description

This is a task so now I really have to do it.

Ludum Dare 36 starts later today:

Games must have:

  • gameplay;
  • probably an end state;
  • objective artistic value which elevates society.

The last time I actually succeeded in doing this instead of immediately going to bed was for Ludum Dare 24 in August 2012. The theme was "Evolution" and I wrote a game called "Invasion":

This game was not very fun, but was technically a game because you could jump and there was a way to win:

Also you can sell No Man's Sky for $60 nowadays so I think the bar has dropped a lot.

The theme today is "Ancient Technology", so PHP fits right in!

So far I have made the computer draw some circles:

I had some family stuff come up and was only able to spend about three hours on this before Ludum Dare ended, and it never turned into anything playable. I got as far as letting you jump between systems and zoom into planetary bodies:
