An entry to the Ludum Dare 34 game jam.
Fly in the Aluminium Falcon and escape the clutches of the Intergalactic Empire!
This is my first Ludum Dare entry, a simple Asteroids style game which is in no way derivative of anything.
Created using HTML Canvas and Javascript (no game libraries used).
I was learning how a lot of JavaScript's features worked as I went with this game; as a result the code is untidy. A shortage of time means that a lot of game features are thrown together and need some refactoring.
- Refactoring to reduce coupling between objects.
- Improve collisions between player and other objects (currently rectangular bounding boxes only).
- Handle audio in a cleaner way.
- Improve enemy algorithms to behave more intelligently when close to the player.
- Add a victory animation.
- Test which objects are visible (released version renders everything every frame!)
- Handle the edges of the map better (draw objects on the other side of the boundary so it is seamless).
