üz: a gelatinous cube roguelike, in ClojureScript/Re-Frame

Introduction

Ooze Cube is a tactical roguelike where you play as a gelatinous cube. An ability or piece of equipment is stuck to each face of your cube. You can defend yourself only with the top-facing equipment or ability. Movement rotates the cube so a new face is on top.

Turns operate on action points, similar to XCOM. Will you move into a better position (possibly so that a choice ability can be used next turn?), or is it better to use a worse ability from the position you're currently in?

Ooze Cube is in development.

Development notes to self

Colouring elements

Here is a filter:hue-rotate() calculator, which will give the correct filter steps for any target colour.

Remember to prepend the filter with "brightness(0) saturate(100%)" if not starting from white.
