Starry Frog
Description
Help a frog connect the stars to create marvelous constellations!
As the starry frog, your mission is to grab, move and connect stars to form constellations. However, not all stars will be able to form a bridge. Have a look at the minimap to pinpoint the locatation of valid star bridges in the constellation.
Finish connecting constellations 3 times to see your score!
This game was heavily inspired (if not completely) by a minigame in MapleStory: Star Bridge.

Tools
For drawing the maps of the constellations used in the game, I quickly prototyped a map editor in Wolfram Language:
This is why you'll see that Mathematica is being used as part of this project (found in StarBridgeTools.nb).
To use it, simply run the following snippet in a Wolfram Language notebook:
Get["~/git/StarBridge/tools/StarryFrogTools.wl"];
