How it relates to the theme

‘Space Flight!’ Is all about adapting and RESPONDING to changing charge locations while dealing with the speed of the character.

blackhole Interstellar

@firewolf, I don’t understand that, explain?

5

Updated above post. Code now included

I feel like this is ‘just’ this program that you made earlier, and added something to it (avoid obstacles)

I could be wrong tho xD

@stevon8ter, 98% of it is that project, and I thought it would be easier to take an old game and improve on it rather than start from scratch.

8

Added unlockable hardcore mode and new achievement.

9

Patched a broken achievement.

10

Forgot to mention, tapping 5 times on the main menu will clear the assets and close the game

11

I like the tweet achievement! How do you get the project to save its own icon?

I haven’t been able to play this though. I get the error “184: attempt to index a nil value (global ‘TEST’)” in the Main tab (also, I have two Main tabs when I install from Pastebin)

12

Yeah - I got that same error but just commented the line out and it ran (did a search for TEST which didn’t appear anywhere else in the code)

13

Cool, got it working. 26% is my high score

14

Haha, whoops! That was part of an abandoned feature, must’ve forgot to remove it!
