Introduction
In the year XXXX, an astronomer found a planet encrusted with diamonds, and so the Editor went to planet XX. Carrying a map develpoed by Dr. D that was able to reflect anything, the Editor surprisingly encountered a Kage-Godzilla ALIEN…
How to Play
You can move your character, the Editor(👾), with the cursor keys. As you dodge Kage(🐝), observe the right hand map and get the diamonds (the map reflects the Editor, but not Kage).
To grab a diamond, when the Editor shown on the map and the diamond overlap, press the Space key to get it and earn 50 points.
If the Editor is not on top of a diamond and the Space key is pressed, 20 points are lost.
After you get all the diamonds, you clear a round and get 500*(round nº) points.
{Picture 1} The right side is a map. Kage-Godzilla’s coming to attack
{Picture 2} Its speed is high, so be careful!
CHECKER FLAG
Dr. D: This program is short, yet its concept outstands that. Still, the fact we still have works with good ideas fills me with relief!
