Code Monkeys - Roles Reversed GMTK 2023

Manage your code monkeys. Fight fires. Fill leaks. Fix electronics. Resolve bugs. 

• Each room has 4 terminals the monkeys are working on
• Terminals will randomly occur with disaster every few seconds
  • Monkeys can only fix screens that match their color
• Click two adjacent rooms to tell the monkeys to switch roles
  • (They have to physically switch tools so it takes them a second)
• Each monkey can only do one job at a time
  • All monkeys and their rooms are color coded based on the monkeys job
    
• Survive the timer to win the level
  • Having more than 6 disasters active at once will cause you drain hp

The 1st level is static. Past that, the levels are procedurally generated.

Controls:

wasd	move camera
left mouse button	select room
mouse scroll	zoom
m	disable music

Misc Details

When GMTK released the video on the SIMS AI, i started work on my implementation of a Utility AI or "Needs-based AI." I'm developing what I'm calling "MotiveAI" as a plugin for my other game. 

When I saw that the jam theme was "Roles Reversed", i came up with this idea of monkeys with one role that physically have to switch roles to resolve disasters. 

This was going to be my submission to GMTK 2023 but I'm a dumb american and thought i had until sunday night because i didnt start until saturday morning. I didn't lose any sleep over the jam but i was too busy polishing on sunday to notice that the submissions were closing at noon on sunday. 

Regardless of if submitted on time, it was nice because i was able to test and work through any kinks in my motiveAI implementation.
