Groworld Game
Part of Project Groworld
Links to the executable versions are included below. As none of these games are finished they may be of more use to people wanting to see how they work. The code is included in the binary packages and can be easily edited by opening them up and looking around. The development repository is here https://git.fo.am and contains all the prototypes and resources needed to run them. A lot of these games are built using fluxus which you will also have to install if you want to run the development versions from git.
