spaceInvadersWithGoRoutines :)

spaceInvadersWithGoRoutines

To learn how to work with GoRoutines, Channels, State I implemented a Space Invaders Game :)

  • Usage:
    • git clone https://github.com/kenlomaxhybris/spaceInvadersWithGoRoutines.git
    • cd spaceInvadersWithGoRoutines/
    • either from binary:
      • ./spaceInvadersWithGoRoutines
    • or from code..
      • go get
      • go run spaceInvadersWithGoRoutines.go
      • go run spaceInvadersWithGoRoutines.go -flagPieceHeartBeatMS 10 -flagMotherShipHeartBeatMS 10 -flagWidthPx 600 -flagHeightPx 500 -flagSpacingPx 40

Lessons Learned

  • Do not share state across GoRoutines.
  • Use Selects and Channels wisely
  • If channels are filling up, find a way to empty them more quickly
