The Plostenkoid Simulator
Wanna taste the harsh life of your favorite planarian? Sure you want! Your quest is to navigate the hungry Plostenkoid to find Gamarusses in the wild or under the stones. If you are healthy, grown planarian, hidden under the stone, you may spawn a cocoon in some rocky corner. The coccoon shall hatch soon into a fresh new planarian, so now you have two! Will those two fight for the single spotted food, or will rather make a strategic plan to catch all Gamarusses? Lets find out...
Pick the specie
Obvious and less obvious rules
- The game board is in the shape of a torus plane - if you pass over the edge, you will appear on the opposite side. This applies on all four directions.
- Size of the plane is 20x20 units.
- Planarians do not have good eyes, so you see only your immediate neighborhood.
- The are three object types on the plane:
- planarian(s) - moving in sync with your arrow keys
- gammarusses - your food. At any time there are 10 of them somewhere.
- stone - unseen things happen under it
- Gamarusses (your food) move randomly, one unit at a time. If you catch some, at random position new one is spawned.
- If given planarian is too long without any food, it will die.
- If you catch two or more gamarusses in short sequence of moves, you may hide under any stone and a new cocoon is spawned automatically.
- Coccoon will hatch into new planarian in 3 moves.
- Catching food and spawning a cocoon increases your score.
