Plant It!

This Game was made for the 14 PirateSoftware Jam.

Theme: It's Spreading

Spread and grow your plant in a real-time strategy survival game, take advantage of the terrain’s humidity where possible and  survive against the sunlight which dries the plant out, and adapt the plant’s structure over time as the terrain gets more and more hostile.

Controls:

Mouse

Mouse wheel to change absorption, Left click to build.

Keyboard

Arrows to move the camera (real-time strategy style camera movement to be developed)

The absorption/distribution value is represented by the colour of the flower on top of the plant. The flower goes more towards red on tiles where absorption is high, and towards blue on tiles where distribution is high.

Requirements

The prototype in its current stage only works with CUDA, so Nvidia GPUs are required. CUDA is used for both gameplay and rendering, so the device used for graphics application must be a CUDA capable one. We haven't implemented GPU lookup and selection, so if your computer has multiple graphics devices (integrated GPU + standalone GPU like in most laptops), you might need to force the program to run with your standalone GPU.
