Slingshot
A downloadable game for macOS and Linux
Slingshot is a puzzle game about orbital mechanics. You fly a spaceship around, and it follows Newton's laws - without gravity or thrust you travel in a straight line. Use gravity to your advantage to maneuver your ship without wasting fuel.
Part of this game's code is a large terminal display library I wrote a while back. AI was used to write some of the documentation for that library. AI was not used anywhere else. I asked @orangerpainting on discord and they said it was fine.
I know this doesn't follow the theme, this is just an idea I've had for a while and I figured now would be a good time to implement it.

Install instructions
Hopefully the .DMG file works on any MacOS device (pick x86_64 for Intel macs and arm64 for Apple Silicon macs). You may need to right-click it and select open, then enter your password, because I haven't paid Apple the $99 a month for a developer certificate or something.
The windows (TBA) and linux releases were compiled using Wine and Docker, respectively, because I don't have access to devices running those OSes. So no guarantees they work.
If that still doesn't work, or you aren't on macOS, go to https://github.com/lemonkat/slingshot, download everything, and run `make package` which will compile the project for your computer. Hopefully. No guarantees.
