== Description ==
A personal remake of Terry Cavanagh's [http://superhexagon.com/ SUPER HEXAGON obstacle race game].

Also borrowing some nice ideas from Vittorio Romeo's [http://vittorioromeo.info/projects.html OPEN HEXAGON] remake.

Tailored for laser projection.

== Game features ==
(work in progress)

Written in Python, using the [http://www.pygame.org/wiki/about pygame framework].

Core laser control routine (dac.py module) from Brandon Thomas (Echelon)'s [https://github.com/echelon/laser-asteroids Laser Asteroids] game.

On-screen (pygame drawing primitives-based) display too, in order to be able to play or design the game even with no laser at hand.

Designed with wire-frame in mind : since lasers can only draw lines, therefore even the obstacles are lines rather than solid polygons !

 There are currently three levels :
-* main level (music : <u>Robot Rockerz</u> from Komputer Kommander) : average difficulty, intended to show most of the game's features
+* main level (music : <u>Robot Rockerz</u> from Komputer Kontroller) : average difficulty, intended to show most of the game's features
-* "G-Force" remake from OPEN HEXAGON 2 : high difficulty, extra "scissors" pattern (side walls that can crush you), with swarms of tiny side walls announcing the next pattern since there is no text support yet
+* "G-Force" remake from OPEN HEXAGON 2 (music : CPU Mood from Fantomenk) : high difficulty, extra "scissors" pattern (side walls that can crush you) ;  patterns announced by swarms of tiny side walls instead of text (not yet implemented).
 * beginner level (music : <u>Pirate Manners</u> from Bossfight) : pentagonal/hexagonal quickly made level
 No text support yet (would be useful for credits, level names, pattern notifications, settings etc...)
