About

The Game of Nom was created by Team Tea Party at the Global Game Jam in 2009. The point of the game is to keep all of your Noms fed by bringing them close to food. Groups of Noms can eat together, but will get angry if they are kept in groups that are too large. You win by keeping your noms alive for 5 mintues, and loose if more than 10 noms die.

Technical

This game was written in C# / XNA, and my first time ever programming flocking behaviour. The flocking was a major part of the game design, but in the end I spent way too much time working on it and not enough time on other technical hurdles.

You can read more about working on this project in the post mortem of the event on my blog.
