Candy Bowl

Entry for Trijam #247 - Problem of Capacity
This turn-based game is made for two human players, but one person can play it as well.
To help this, computer players are meant to be added later.

Press Space to start game
Use Arrows, WASD to move Cup
Use Space to rotate Cup
Press Enter to finish your move and pass control to the opponent
Press Escape to leave the game anytime

Rules
The game ends, if any balls are spilled:
a) the current player is made responsible, so already dropped balls are not counted
b) the player with the higher resulting score wins the game

Bugs & Issues
#1 Cup rotations don't self-reset properly, so often Blue got stuck in an unlucky face-down position
#2 False collision detection often lead to Red Cup losing at first move
#3 Obviously the game lacks sound (due to time constraints), which is meant to be "fixed" later
#4 Score newly dropped balls after move is complete, so the spill bonus for fairness is not required.

Applied Solutions
#1 Cup rotations are now hard-reset on game start
#2 Added a "heater" component to each Ball, which smoothes the detection mechanic
#4 Done.
