Readit NewsHmm, I just get a black screen on my iPhone when I click your link.
Did you use any existing stuff like the mars-sim project? https://mars-sim.sourceforge.io/
Try it now! And no I didn't but that is very cool.
Played for a bit, liked the aesthetics so I bookmarked it to come back to it later and discovered a bug. On mac/chrome, I hit CMD + D to bookmark. By doing so, I setup some kind of autowalk bug where I kept walking to the right. I couldn't stop myself from walking, even pressing WAS temporarily stopped me but as soon as I let go, I kept walking right.
Thanks for this, I'll address it now.
It’s not really clear how it’s played.
Thanks for trying it out. Can you say more? Was it the controls or more about what you're supposed to build/do first?
I visited the site on my Android phone with Firefox. It loads and the UI fits the screen, however it seems slow. Words appear at 3 or 4 characters at a time, then there is a pause, then another 3 or 4 characters. Some music when characters appear, then it stops, then it starts again. I muted it soon.
It looks nice, so I hope to give it a try from my laptop. The Mars trilogy was a great read. When I saw the title of this Show HN I said, oh wow!
By the way, dust storms could be a plot device but are they really that bad with so low air pressure?
Thanks for giving it a click! Let me know how it goes on desktop. Actively trying to improve the phone experience now...
