brain-gain-or-drain

Simple game used on the "Game development with Clojure" talk at FrOSCon 2015

A little brain flys through a galaxy, joyfully eating Clojure logos to gain more knowledge.

It's a 2-D side-scroller with two additional parallax layers.

But... why?

This source was used to demonstrate

• the programming-a-game-while-playing-it-is-awesome effect
• how an why immutable data is a bless
• function composition
• expressiveness

Where to go from here

• Add brain draining elements to the game
• Add evolution to the game
  • Player starts with the ability to move upwards only
  • Gain knowledge to be able to move up and down
  • Gain more knowledge to move also left and right
  • Gain even more knowledge to alter speed or use transport beams or travel through time
• Create a multi-platform-with-immutable-data-only gaming library
• Have fun
