badformer

Reach the goal in this retro-inspired wireframing platformer. Play in 3 dimensions and compete for the lowest number of steps to win!

This small game is playable in the Typst editor and best enjoyed with the web app or typst watch. It was first released for the 24 Days to Christmas campaign in winter of 2023.

Usage

You can use this template in the Typst web app by clicking “Start from template” on the dashboard and searching for badformer.

Alternatively, you can use the CLI to kick this project off using the command

typst init @preview/badformer

Typst will create a new directory with all the files needed to get you started.

Configuration

This template exports the game function, which accepts a positional argument for the game input.

The template will initialize your package with a sample call to the game function in a show rule. If you want to change an existing project to use this template, you can add a show rule like this at the top of your file:

#import "@preview/badformer:0.1.0": game
#show: game(read("main.typ"))

// Move with WASD and jump with space.
