The rumor is that there are two kinds of Flash games: those that take 6 months to develop and those that take 1 week. Data suggests that those developed in 1 week have a greater monetary return on time invested. To that end, we present you with a 5 hour game!
Have you ever defragmented your hard drive? If you haven’t then your computer is probably slowing down or you’re paying someone too much money to defrag for you. Basically, as your use your computer, files are created and deleted all the time. The computer gods are happy when a file is on one long strip of physical space, but sometimes there isn’t enough room to fit a file in one long strip; so instead, the file is split into pieces. These pieces are stored wherever there’s room for them and they’re linked together when the file is opened later. All of this happens transparently to us users, but if a file is split too many times then your computer will take longer to access it.
Anyway, Defrag is a game based on the process your computer goes through when it removes the gaps between file pieces. The goal of Defrag is to sort the pieces of data so they are in order and don’t have any gaps.
This is a quick demo with a handful of levels. The levels are created through Xml so it can be easily built upon.
On to the demo!
Full of fragmented goodness!
Instructions: Click and drag, baby!
Awesome. :)
I defragged the drive! Nice concept, I like it.
