# Hard Vacuum: Recon #

_Hard Vacuum: Recon_ is a mobile game for the [js13kGames competition][].

You play a down on their luck mercenary assigned to survey an icey planet.

Armed with your memory and the somewhat faulty logic of your copter's NAVI,

you have to grab as much intel as you can before your fuel cells run dry.

## Graphics ##

Daniel Cook's "[Hard Vaccum][]" tileset is used as the basis for the graphics.

ImageMagick and mtPaint get abused heavily to get the look I want.

## Development ##

Development takes place on a [Raspberry Pi][], which ends up being a great way

to test mobile browser performance without a phone.

### Wish List ###

A bunch of stuff isn't in, mostly due to time and size constraints.

* Copter animations

* Variable terrain

* Icicle telport FX

* More mission variety

* Tweetable high scores

### Notes ###

ImageMagick command line to remove a common background from icons.

~~~bash

convert icon.png background.png \

\( -clone 0 -clone 1 -compose difference -composite -threshold 0 \) \

-delete 1 -alpha off -compose copy_opacity -composite icon-no-bg.png

~~~
