Digger

Introduction

Quick prototype I wrote whilst at a Sony Hackathon some years ago. The theme was "beneath the surface" Press any key to change direction of digger, collect coins, avoid the red guy. Collision detection is buggy on the enemy so don't have to try that hard!

Play the game

How I came up with this game.

• copy a simple idea - like pacman, snakes

• use simple controls - only one action - turn right

• whole game is on a grid of tiles

• only eight different tiles

It's really simple and you can play it. It's almost fun.

Making it better

Well in the description is says that the collision detection is buggy and I noticed just now that the enemy and player can pass right through each other. So that would be good to fix.

Here is a list of improvements

• fix collision detection

• add levels

• game speeds up

• more enemies

Maybe it could have a score. But for me if only it sped up that would make it more interesting, Think. Tetris.
