Dangerous Skies

Dangerous Skies

This game was created for a game jam using AppGameKit (https://appgamekit.com). The theme of the game jam was to create a game using text only (sounds are allowed). 

All images in this game  (including the missile trail, and clouds) are created from a number of different characters, sizes, and angles. For single straight lines I've used the pipe character ( | )

The fonts used to create the different images were: Lucida Grande, and Avenir for more rounder O's.

The aim of the game is to avoid the homing missiles that are being launched at your plane for as long as you can.

You can control the plane with left and right cursor keys, or by dragging your finger/mouse around the game area to rotate the plane towards the direction of your finger/mouse.

The enter key will start a new game.

Source code for this game can be found here: https://github.com/DigicodeLabs/Dangerous-Skies

Running the Mac OS X version:

If you're downloading the Mac OS X version you will need to run a couple of lines of commands in Terminal in order to play it because the Mac OS puts it in quarantine. This seems to be a common issue with Mac apps being uploaded and downloaded from sites like itch.io (if the app isn't signed).

The commands you'd need to type are:

sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/app/Dangerous-Skies.app
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /path/to/app/Dangerous-Skies.app

Replace /path/to/app with the path to where you downloaded Dangerous Skies. You should only need to do this the once.

If I find a solution to the problem that I can do to the Mac version I upload so that you don't need to run these commands, I will apply it.
