Ants outside: UNFINISHED MFF GAMEJAM 2024 SPRING PROJECT

This was meant to be a game for Matfyz gamejam 2024 in spring, but we had too big plans and not so much time. The only thing that was working was Ants AI simulation, which was programmed by Naimad1 and he presented it during his state exams.

Graphics was made by Lapin and my part was unfinished.

Our plan was to create a game where you would have an ant colony which you could enhance by mushrooms which would you grow and cultivate. The cultivation part was meant to be by me and I tried to implement it as a crafting system. One hour before end of the gamejam the system was not even half complete.

Ant behaviour was made by Naimad1 who used real ant behaviour as his inspiration. The ants collect stuff, have pheromone signal and feed their queen by entering the palace. As a player it was meant to also be ant, but there were planned some obstructions to make the gameplay interesting, which also failed. So the only functional thing really is the ant AI.

At the end of the gamejam when compiling what we had, we were bamboozled by unknown error, because UnityEditor on Linux did not want to tell me, why it could not be compiled. Furthermore, the some of the images were corrupted, probably because of github, so some of the graphics was not even visible.

I found the error a few months later, it was because of one using statement, which should not even be in that place.
