Loading Metaphor for the first time...

This is my entry for Jern Jam x Sci Ants 2025!

Its a metaphor.

Deliberate Design Choices:

  • Graphical minimalism - 40x25 grid of ASCII graphics with 16 colors, simulating SCREEN0:WIDTH40 on an IBM PS/2
  • Control minimalism - four directions, plus "ok" and "cancel"
    • WASD, ZQSD(French keyboard), Arrow Keys to move. Space and backspace for other things.
  • Sound minimalism - there are sound effects. they get repetitive. i gave you a mute checkbox.
