pixel-infection

A game about virus spread and trying to contain it.

It tries to resemble a simulation based on some characteristics of CoVid-19.

This was mostly a challenge to create a game for fun while I am isolated at home for CoVid-19. I tried to do it in less than 12 hours without much web gaming platforms knowledge. The code is pretty bad and the performance is ugly, it just works (tm). Seems like pixi.js worked well out of the box, but I still need to work a lot on performance and UI for this to be something nice.
