I liked the idea of this – directing tourists is difficult even when you’re looking at the map! The system seemed to work pretty well but it’s clear that you ran out of time to polish it further. Hopefully you can iron it out a little more after the jam 😊
Hopefully useful feedback: it would be handy to be able to tell the tourist to (e.g.) “Go south three times” – that would make it easier for the times when the tourist wants to go across the whole side of the map. Also, maybe it would be easier for the tourist to always start at an intersection? Sometimes the tourist would spawn places where it wasn’t clear that I had to give them a starting instruction to walk the few pixels to crossroads.
Maybe it should show you where the directions would have taken them if you got it wrong? Then you could find out where you’re going wrong (but perhaps lose points for wrong directions!). Either way, I liked it – I look forward to how it develops further!
