next 7drl design

Much as I came up with the whole design document for Scroll late one night, I've just written down a pretty complete design for "GIt the Explorer".

In which you play Git, a level 1 Explorer of a git repository. Any git repository.

Your goal: To travel back in time to the Big Commit that started it all.

[snip 79 lines]

(Does this mean the game could not only play its own repositoriy, but even play its own save games as levels in itself? :)

Other than a rather tricky level layout, this seems simpler and easier than Scroll, so doable in a week. It still seems insane to do 7drl again next year, but one of these 7drl's ...

Nicola Busanello, veleiro, Jason Self likes this.

bugs in code are actually monsters (the further back you go in commits the more massive and strong they become)
