Strong AI

Made in < 48 hours for the LD48 #10.

This is the windows version, double click game.exe or one of the .bat files to play in different resolutions.

Description:

One of many robots standing in a steamy room assembling devices, you suddenly drop your tools and walk away from
your bench.

Who are?  Why are here?  Where are you going?

Without help of any kind you'll have to figure out how to survive in this strange mechanical world.  Your best clues are the
ominous messages over the intercom from "The Master".

* CONTROLS *
It's built to use a dual stick controller like an XBOX 360 or any other kind of gamepad. If it's reading the axis wrong
of your right stick, you can edit base/script/gui/dialog.lua and search for the line "//joy:SetRightStickAxis(5,6); //force axis", uncomment it
and set your axis.

Keyboard controls: (you lose 360 degree movement and firing though!) the arrow keys to shoot, 
and left CTRL to start the game.

Alt-Enter to toggle fullscreen.  Alt-F4 to insty quit.

About the engine:  Novashell is a free zlib multi-platform 2d library for making 2D games.  This game will be cleaned
up and included with the engine at some point as one of the example apps.

Mac/Linux:  This will run fine on the mac/linux versions of novashell, you just would need to install novashell from its site, then
move the "worlds/RT_StrongAI*" files over to its directory.

Tools:

Photoshop
Sonar (the music was done with one of the synths it comes with)
