My nephew Josh wanted to learn how to make video games, so I helped him make this game one afternoon.

The goal is to eat fifteen burgers in the fastest time. How quickly can you do it?

Controls: left, right and up (or z) to jump. EAT THOSE BORGERS, BILL

Is it a knife, or is it a spoon? The game DEMANDS YOU TELL IT.

This is my first ever full game, and is sort of finished, I guess. It's missing a proper game over screen, and music/SFX, but I'm releasing it just to get it out there. If I get chance I'll come back to it and fill in the gaps.

I've kept the code all uncompressed and (hopefully) easy to read. I've got plenty of programming experience, but with this being my first game I thought it would be useful to leave it in a state that would allow others to learn from it. I can't help you build your game, but I can try to help you understand what's going on in this game, so get in touch if you think I can help with that.

All the code is also available on Github, right here: https://github.com/Jonic/knifey-spoony

Alpha Version

This was the very first version I made so I could explain the concept to the artist on the final game, Ribbon Black (http://www.ribbonblack.com/)

I'm new to this, so please go easy on me. I'm not trying to claim this is good, I just wanted to get SOMETHING on the BBS. This was the lowest barrier to entry for me. I may improve this, I might just leave it like this forever. The code is crap and it's a massively unfinished experience. I'm just happy to have made even the smallest, dumbest, more boring thing :)

Player 1: E/D
Player 2: up/down

There's no "win" state. The game is over when you decide it is. IT'S INTERACTIVE LIKE A GOD DAMN DAVID CAGE GAME
