W was created as my entry into [[http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/][Ludum Dare Jam 22]] (See [[https://github.com/thomcc/W/downloads][downloads]]
or [[https://github.com/thomcc/W/tree/ldjam][this branch]] for what I submitted, the entry itself is located
[[http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-22/?action=preview&uid=7728][here]]).

Now that it is complete, I am going to extend the heck out of it.

** How to play

*** Getting W

**** Mac, Windows, or 64 bit Linux

If you run Mac, Linux (64 bit), or Windows, simply grab the W-App.zip
(for Mac), W-Lin.tar.gz (for 64 bit Linux), or W-Exe.zip (for
Windows). Double click the executable inside, (W.app for Mac and W.exe
for Windows), and if everything should goes well W should open and
start!

**** Any (who happen to already have Racket 5.2 installed)

W is written in PLT Racket, a dialect of Lisp, and if you happen to
already have this installed, you can run the code without downloading
one of the premade executables. To do this, simply download or clone
this repository, and run "w.rkt" from within the source directory.

Note that for best performance you should not run this within
DrRacket, running "gracket source/w.rkt" from the command line should
set the necessary steps in motion for that to happen.

If you do not wish or know how to run this outside of DrRacket, but
find that it is running too slow and would like to try to fix it, you can
improve performance by going to the languages menu and ensuring that
both Debugging and Profiling are turned off. Additionally, check
"populate compiled directories" if it is unchecked.


*** Controls
- Arrow keys or WASD for movement
- Space uses an item you are standing on or facing (teleporters,
doors, and screens can currently be used). Space will also restart
the game at a game over screen.
- Escape restarts the game regardless of where you are.




I have changed it since then, however I'm no longer working on
it.
