About

The COVID-19 outbreak has ravaged the globe. As the world's scientists work feverishly to invent a vaccine, the remaining uninfected have fled to camps believed to be virus-free. 

Yours is one such camp. 

Vaccine is expected in 180 days.  Healthy people generate revenue. 
Additional test kits and beds can be purchased. Good luck! 

REVISION HISTORY

Update 1.1 - 2 Apr 2020

  •  - Adjusted virus infection range to 6 pixels 
  •  - Asymptomatic to symptomatic change no longer resets length person was infected. Phase change working properly now
  •  - Made recovered patients immune to infection based on statements made by Fauci and other experts
  •  - No more raising the dead. The deceased can no longer be moved to the hospital and brought back to life
  •  - Help button and help screen added to improve UX and explain UI elementS
  •  - Summary text added to end screen. 
  •  - Version number added to game footer, and patch notes section added to the webpage

Known bugs: 

  • Sometimes hospitalized entities will stay in the hospital after they are recovered. Selecting them again and clicking the Hospitalize button will punt them out. 

 

Background: 

"Three weeks ago I was idly thinking of how someone ought to make a little game that shows how the coronavirus spreads, how testing changes things, and how social distancing works.  ...  But I have to admit, I kinda figured someone would have made it by now. But they haven't." - Game designer Raph Koster on FB

I came across this a few days ago and took that as a personal challenge to make the game.  

The project is released, but it's going to be my pet project while in quarantine, so I plan to do regular updates for a while. Please leave feedback with any bugs, comments, suggestions, etc. Thanks!
