War Machine

A space RTS for the OLC Code Jam 2020.

https://github.com/pandepic/OLC_CODEJAM_2020

The Great "War Machine", pride of the imperial fleet, was damaged escaping from a disastrous battle. With our engines overloading, we made one last emergency hypserspace jump to this asteroid field where some friendly miners have responded to our distress call. Our sensors detect the enemy is still searching for us.

Use your miners to gather resources from asteroids and build ships to defend yourself from the incoming enemy fleets. Destroying enemy ships will give you upgrade points to repair the War Machine and improve your ships. Use your upgrade points to repair the hyperdrive to escape the asteroid field and win the game. Enemies will come from the closest corner of the map to the War Machine.

Tips:

• If you have nothing else selected, you can right click to move the war machine, move it close to metal and gas at the start as you need these the most
• Put your first miners on metal and gas to help build more miners
• Try to get to your miner limit as soon as possible, this starts at 20 and can go up to 35
• Before the first enemy wave comes you should aim to have built a beam frigate or missile frigate and 4-5 fighters
• The first wave is quite difficult until you figure out how to start and then it becomes a lot easier
