Day 15 Game 15: 30 games in 30 days using Grids
This is what Grids did for us today. What can Grids do for you?
In Game 15 you are a paratrooper and your mission is to land in the safe zone. You also need to avoid the planes and bombs around you to stop you from being blown away.
One of the nice things about hex grids is that if you put circles in them, you get a tight packing. (This is not the case for tri grids for example, where there are holes where circles can fit in). Using circles instead of hexes gives a slightly less rigid feel, especially when combined with effects such as the gradient + random offset that we used for colouring the cells in this game.
