Could not get the game to run. Black screen in Firefox, and in Chrome the keyboard input is not registered. Reading your devlog with great interest, as I have recently implemented an ECS library myself (and used it for this Jam) and your idea of a triple store is interesting. Also props to you for developing the ECS part at the same time as the game. Just wished I could play and rate.

Hi! Thanks for trying it and I'm unhappy it's not cooperating with you. So, if you have a few moments to check, would you be willing to turn on your browser console (usually [ctrl]-[shift]-[i], then start the game from the itch.io page? Specifically, look for warnings in red or yellow like this:
If you see any of those and you can copy and paste them as a reply here, I might be able to tell you what's going on.
Another thing to try is to go to the three.js home page -- https://threejs.org/ -- and click on one of the examples (this one shows a lot of the stuff I'm using: https://virtual.bbcmic.ro/?disc1=elite.ssd&autoboot) and see if those work (that indicates that I'm doing something wrong...).
Unfortunately using the 3D engine in the browser is a security and configuration nightmare. Three.js smooths a lot of that out, but it can't cover everything -- like if your video card is too old for the browser to use for acceleration. Hopefully the messages in the console will indicate what's going on if that's it.
Also, apparently on some browsers, you explicitly have to turn it on. This topic might be helpful? https://superuser.com/questions/836832/how-can-i-enable-webgl-in-my-browser
Hope you're able to try it out!

Thanks for checking it out! The "hit box" is just a distance function for one unit --
(> 1 (avatar.mesh.position.distanceTo item.mesh.position))
I thought about doing a proper one, but I felt it added to the "contemplative" nature of the game because you had to hit the NKI juuuuust right...
And yeah, totally ran out of time before I could get animations fully working on Robot.

Very glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I think you're correct on the probability. I was taking into account all objects, when in reality only [redacted] matter. I used the "contemplative" music because, according to robotfindskitten.org, "robotfindskitten is in fact a Zen simulation" and I figured that was the better music for Zenning out... Of course you're free to switch them around! I'll write up something soon on running it locally from the source (spoiler, it's kind of a pain thanks to browser security restrictions).

I probably could have made it a lot more compact if I had had any idea of what I was going to do when I started! Thanks for giving it a look!

I'm glad! It's cold out there... Also, I just realized that there's a terrible bug that gives you a 90% chance of finding Kitten first try if you know what to look for. Maybe I'll fix it in source. Thanks for trying it!

Please just imagine those nice graphics for the title and finish screen as well! ; - ) Hope you enjoyed it.
