Geopilot Game

About

Geopilot is a minimalist, arcade-style sandbox built with p5.js. Pilot a rotating pointer at the center of the board, drop blocks, and watch the grid evolve as you switch directions and move forward or reverse. It’s simple to learn in seconds—and oddly satisfying to master.

What you do:
Rotate the center pointer in 45° steps (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW).
Move forward or reverse while the world “scrolls” around you.
Place and remove blocks to draw paths, patterns, and mazes on the fly.
Track your direction, turn count, and your evolving x/y drift as you build.

Why it’s fun
Instant feedback: every keystroke changes the board.
Chill or challenge: doodle patterns—or speed-pilot and see how long you can keep symmetry.
Tiny footprint: no accounts, no setup, just open and play.
Keyboard-first: crisp controls for fast, satisfying input.

Controls:
Turn right: D or Right Arrow
Turn left: A or Left Arrow
Forward mode: W or Up Arrow
Reverse mode: S or Down Arrow
Place block: Space
Remove last block: E
Remove many: type a number (e.g., 4 removes the last 4)
Clear all blocks: C
Open controls overlay: click CONTROLS 
Exit overlay: click EXIT

(Tip: Your current heading is displayed at the top-right. The more blocks you place, the more your x/y drift counter changes.)

Features:
- Clean, high-contrast visuals with an 8-direction compass.
- Real-time x/y drift and turn counter.
- Start screen with animated callouts.
- Works fully offline; no network required after install.
- Built with Manifest V3 and local p5.js for speed and privacy.
