Petri is a great piece of art. I find myself enjoying it in much the same way as a chaotic campfire. Vibrant, surprising, unpredictable while staying within designated boundaries - letting us enjoy the chaos without feeling worried about it exhausting us.
Is there anything I have to do with love2d once installing it? It goes to the Supertoast No Game Screen and then stays there after I open the petri1_3b.love file, Or do I drag and drop it?
That's some nice source code (i'm not going to steal it). A nice game like this shouldn't get reversed engineered, you should try converting it to byte code.
I added a version just now. It's a bit troublesome because you'll need to install the right version of LÖVE yourself. (I added a link with the install instructions)
Let me know if it works, since i havent tested it.
Very nice toy, I could be fiddling around with this for hours on a tablet/mobile. Although I was hoping to see those violet cocci turn into Staphylococci and Streptococci at least! Sound treatment also quite nice.

Ah yes, the googlerschmoogles, my favorite
Quite exquisite I must say.
this is really cool and i wanted to use it as a screensaver cuz it was tagged as one but i dont know how to set it up as my screensaver
It turns up funky on VirusTotal. MaxSecure and VBA mark it as Trojan.
Not sure what to tell you. False positives happen all the time. If you are paranoid you can download the linux version and run it from source.

How do you play it on a Mac? I downloaded it but I am a little unsure on how to get it to work.
Hi, I don't have a mac to test on so I'm not sure myself! You can also try to use the linux version which you can run after installing love2d from here https://github.com/love2d/love/releases/download/0.10.2/love-0.10.2-macosx-x64.z...

You should be able to just open the .love file. Drag and dropping it onto the love2d executable should also work.
Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
cool and relaxing game :D
Can I use this game in a Video Game Shop? I would love to showcase and let others download the game
of course!
Thank you so much!! Could I also have a way to contact you?
And by the way, What is you're Maximum and Minimum Specs for this game, I'm assuming Intel® Core™ i5-1235U, and Intel® Iris® Xᵉ Graphics

I really don't mind! That's how I learned as well. Most of the things i do are open source for this reason.
Oooh, got it.
Hi, if you get me your twitter/discord (or some other place i can DM) I will give you a key
this is just beautiful, i hate not being able to buy anything
I'll send u a key if you provide some contact info, since itch doesnt allow DMs :>
thanks a lot :DD my discord username is ElNico56#0201
Super interesting little thing! The atmospheric sounds really add to the sense of discovery, it's great!!
When I tried starting the game up, I received an error that said:
Error
Cannot compile pixel shader code:
Line 8: ERROR: 'uniform' : non-matching types for uniform initializer
Traceback
[C]: in function'newShader'
main.lua : 95: in function 'load'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
Tried restarting it but didn't do anything. Is there any way I can fix this?
I'll look into it. It might be incompatibility with your gpu. Can you send me your specs?
Not sure where specs are but I think these are it?

Really interesting and fun project
Can you please release a Linux version of this?
working on it! should be included with the next update.
Still waiting on that Linux version ;-;
Oh, I kinda forgot about this, I'm so sorry!
I have some free time so it should be up in the next few days!
Oh, cool! Thanks for supporting!
