Power Plant Manager

The world is Running out of Power. Build new power plants, save the world from the energy crisis, or something like that… or, you know, pollute the atmosphere, destroy the world, it's up to you.

That's right, it's a game this time. Well, sortof, not really. You can't win or lose, but such is life.
Another improvement over last time, probably.

Controls

W, S, A, D = Move view around
Left, Right, Up, Down arrows = Also move view around
Left Click = Build on empty selected tile
Right Click = Destroy thing on selected tile
1 = Sell 50% of your power: 1 power = $0.5
2 = Move 50% of your power to the goal, which does nothing.
Escape or Return = Only on the build menu, returns to game.

How to pause the game: Open the build menu by clicking a blank tile.

Credits:

Tools:

  • Visual Studio 2015 (C# language)
  • GIMP 2 (misc image editing)

Libraries:

  • SFML.Net 2.3
  • .NET Framework 4
  • JGL (custom, work in progress)

Known issues:

  • When the view ends up on half a pixel, the graphics look a little distorted.
  • The corners of the map are a little buggy and the view does weird things there, especially the left and right corners.
  • The game is very unbalanced, making it very easy to get tons of power.

There are two source code archives provided. The first contains the actual game's code, and the second contains the code that was used for creating the isometric artwork.
