Alien Door Control

(Entry for olc::BeatTheBoredom game-jam,  2020)

An alien has entered your base and won't leave unless you put your foot, eh... I mean doors down!

The alien seems to follow an oddly specific set of rules, without fail! Every time it hits a wall, it turns around, and after going through a doorway, it will turn right. Truly alien behavior...

How to play:

• Use the right mouse button on a tile to add, rotate and remove a door. Having the alien enter the doorway while facing one of the doors will force it to turn right after exiting the doorway. On the other hand if it is not facing one of the doors, it will just pass through
• Change between placing doors, and spikes, by pressing the rotating item on the bottom of the screen. Spikes will make the monster go backwards from the current direction it's facing.
• Press space to test out your solution! If it doesn't work, press space again to go into edit mode. Note that you cannot add/remove doorways while the monster is moving
• So, in a sense, you have to "outdoor" the alien. Outdoor... The Alien! I'll let myself out.
• Look around using the left mouse; zoom and pan with the scroll-wheel, if things get out of hand and you can't see the level, press TAB to reorient the camera
• Escape will bring you back to the menu screen.

Have fun!
