The Infinite Armada
The Infinite Armada is a small game/procedural generation demo I made over the weekend for the PROCJAM game jam. The optional theme was: Change.
I've made several ship generators before. One in Adobe Flash and one in Javascript for JS1k. Procedural Generation is a fascinating topic and there are so many cool ideas for things you can make.
The spaceships are generated from stacking together different sprites from a large collection of pre-drawn basic shapes. Various operations are performed on the ship such as painting a new material over it, creating sub-sections of the ship which are then repeatedly copied, randomly increasing the height of parts of the ship, and so on. At the end a bunch of accessories are attached to the ship.

This game is simple but fun. I love the pixel art and the controls this is just amazing! Great Job!
This put such a smile on my face. This is so cool.
I love the atmosphere, the quirky looking ships, the pixel art, the simple but engaging interaction with the ships (rather than cycling them with a button, having to destroy them) and how different the ships all feel. Well done!
