**Slacker** is a clone/parody of the popular arcade game *Stacker*, in which
|
|
|
|
|
you must stack blocks to the top of the screen in order to win the game. Boxes

|
|
|
will move back and forth at varying speeds. Press Space to stop the boxes and
|
|
|
|
|
move on to the next row. Only boxes that have something underneath them will be
|
|
|
|
|
stacked. As the tower rises, the game will make your tower thinner. You win a
|
|
|
|
|
minor prize at the 10th level (the blocks change color), and if you reach the
|
|
|
|
|
15th level, you will win the major prize. Good luck!

This game and the above description was originally written by Clint and

Jennifer Herron. I forked the game to improve the codebase, make it more
|
|
|
|
|
similar to the arcade game and hopefully add more features.
