Well, everyone else is doing it (read: two people) so I might as well too.

While the title of the "assignment" for the competition was "Infection" the assignment itself was hardly limited to such, being "Make a game involving the spread of something. A virus, coffee shops, etc..." ... and I, not having any good ideas, resorted to making a top of the line Peanut Butter Spreading Simulation -- a reasonably bug-free implementation of tournament spreading.

And here we have it:

The winbinary+source+40dll is all in one zip file, here: The Program
Even if you don't want to own your very own copy of Peanut Butter: The Simulator, I'd love it if you could check out / comment upon the Extensive Manual, which is filled with all sorts of reliable information you probably never knew about peanut butter spreading, the artistic sport of champions.

The controls of the game are a bit obscure for those who can't read, so you might also like to have handy this quick usage guide:

KEY_LEFT && KEY_RIGHT: Rotate knife
KEY_UP && KEY_DOWN: Move knife up/down screen
mickeys(x : Move knife side-to-side
mickeys(, y : Move knife forward/backwards
KEY_SPACE: Hold to charge dippage meter, release to plop an amount of butter on the bread proportional to the amount of dippage displayed on the meter.
KEY_ENTER: Declare yourself finished, and check out your score -- sorry about it being hard to read -- be shown the highscore table, and then restart with a fresh slice.
KEY_ESC: Quit

Anyway, was good fun to make, even if not to play. Comments of all natures welcome.

Absolutely the most brilliant game ever!!!

Great game! Scored 94!

I've been competing in Peanut Butter Spread Contests for years now and this has to be absolutely the most accurate simulation I've seen yet. Well done!

My top score is 91.

A funny idea, but not that hard. I got 101 on the 3rd try or so. I lost cuase I slipped in my chair and moved my mouse hand suddenly . Maybe you should add things like little worms eating the peanut butter as you spread it, or you have to move your knife to pick some more peanut butter from the jar before you can continue to spread. Otherwise once you have the knife positioned correctly, its not much of a challenge to keep it there.

Cool concept and cool use of the theme.

Maybe next version would use voxel rendering?
