Bakku-Runner Game of Life is a classic example of the concept of Super Mario Runner. The original GoL is a 0-player game that plays out until bumping to other obstacles. On the next iteration of the game the screen follow these rules:
- Raccoons come out when a user chooses 'EASY' level with woodland background
- Wolves come out when a user chooses 'MEDIUM' level with newyork city background
- Polarbears come out when a user chooses 'HARD' level with winter background
- User can get scores with jumping as time goes by
With this bakku-runner Game of Life simulator, users will be able to:
- Start and reset the game
- Jump with the up arroy key
- Choose level from menu
In addition, this project will include:
- An About rules of the game
- A production README
All features in this game would be implemented using native JavaScript DOM manipulation and, HTML5 canvas.
This project will be implemented with the following technologies:
JavaScriptfor game logicHTML5 Canvasfor renderingWebpackfor bundling scripts
Day 1: Setup all necessary html and css to render objects, including getting webpack up. Goals for the day:
- Get a green bundle
- render an object to the
HTML5element - Setup player.js properly
Day 2: Add jump and collision. Goals for the day:
- Create a feature so that a player can jump and collide to obstacles

- Have a styled
HTML5, nice looking - If time: more styled
There are many directions this cellular automata engine could eventually go. Some anticipated updates are:
- Add options for difficulties
- Add multiple theme for difficulties
