A downloadable game

I.S.Dough is my final project submission for Math073, SP24. In this project, a thought experiment explored in the context of a video game, the player will explore three worlds. These worlds are levels which all share 'commons'. Each has variations, but also parallels which tie the worlds (or levels) together in a larger collection. This collection is a system of linear equations, each of which have 'common' variables and constants that behave as the 'variable-differentiator' (the product of the variable instance on that world, and of the constant which is unique to that world (equation), is a description for that world).

In the game, the player meets a mysterious astronaut, who is in dire need of bread - any kind. He tasks the player with searching the universe for bread. So, they venture out into parallel worlds, and collect enigmatic loaves.

Here is a keymap for the player controls:

- mouse/mousepad - rotate camera

- "w" - walk forwards

- "s" - walk backwards

- "a" - walk to the left

- "d" - walk to the right

- "space" - jump

(note: current game version allows player to jump without touching the floor)

Disclaimer: when either downloading the game, or launching the isdough.exe, your OS may report that it contains malware. This is because your OS doesn't recognize the website or origins of the file. Despite this warning, however, you can run the .exe file anyway. I will note that I uploaded the game project files without any harmful malware, so I believe this alert is a cautionary protocol of your OS (or at least, of Windows). Regardless, by downloading and launching this game after I've provided this disclaimer, you agree that I am not responsible for any damages which running it on your computer may cause.
