The First Flame

This is a prototype for My First Game Jam, Winter 2020. The feature I aimed to prototype is a temperature-based GUI element in the form of two circles centered on the player: A red circle that indicates overheating (see by pressing F and then spacebar a few times) and a circle that is "cut out" of a frosty-looking overlay. This circle will shrink into view as the player stands around without the flame active.

Controls:

• WASD/Arrow keys to move
• F to activate your flame
• Space while flame is active to create a flame whirl.
• Flame whirl "melts" snow, revealing rock underneath.
• Blue overlay shows hypothermia -- if it touches you, you'll pass out!
• Red overlay shows hyperthermia -- if it covers the screen, you'll pass out, too!
• Flame whirl melts nearby Frostbites, who will decrease your core temperature if they attack.

Known bugs:

• If the player turns off their flame while in the middle of the flame whirl, the whirl stays visible at whatever frame it was on.
