Sammy the slug has to avoid failing their midterms!
Sammy starts off small...

Inspiration

We wanted to share our personal experiences slithering around the Santa Cruz mountains.

What it does

Slug parkour. Watch sammy e x t e n d as he eats yerbs.

How It Works

A cross between Snake and Pacman, but not really... Press space to switch walls/cross gaps, press shift to fast-forward, press R to restart. Try to collect all the yerba mate cans without getting too many Fs!

How We built it

C++, raylib, emscripten
Audacity, pixilart.com

Challenges we ran into

Movement code was very tricky. We had to re-write a few times, and ended up using DFS to determine which tiles were traversible when following a wall, and it's still kind of broken
Being bad at making art and music
Aligning pixels
math

Accomplishments that we're proud of

All of it, duh

What we learned

How to make pixel art
How to master a simple theme song for our friend sammy the slug
You can beat the planning fallacy if you work for 15 hours/day
not math
not C++, we both knew it pretty well already
Slugs are all hermaphrodites and can fertilize themselves, but they can mate, too. By releasing pheromones into their slime, slugs indicate a readiness to mate—and some make quite a spectacle of it
