About

This is my entry for Lowrezjam 2022. I decided to demake Starcraft: Brood War and see how far I could get within the time limit. The answer is "not very far", but I had fun!

  • This is a recreation of StarCraft's tutorial map, where an SCV will follow your mouse cursor around with pathfinding. That's pretty much it.
  • Press 'M' to toggle the minimap.
  • Use the arrow keys to pan, or move the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen.
  • Left click and drag to select units, or left click to select an individual unit, building, or resource.
  • When you select a unit or building, the commands window will appear on the bottom right if that unit has commands to issue. Clicking them does nothing. :)
  • On my iPhone, the game is stretched weirdly, so YMMV with mobile devices.

Trivia:

  • I did a lot of cool art for this which tragically can't be seen in-game.
  • This game is written in C and uses SDL2, Emscripten, stb_image, stb_image_write, and stb_image_resize. Not including libraries, it is about 4900 LOC.
