arkanoid-in-typescript

A 2D arkanoid game made using HTML5 canvas and Typescript

This is an expermental project for me trying to learn how HTML5 canvas and Typescript works. I know Typescript is not used for game development, but I just wanted to learn by doing something that I enjoy more than building websites. Go to https://ritchielrez.github.io/arkanoid-in-typescript/ to try this game out.

Here are the instructions for you if you want to build it from source:

Prerequisites:

• Node
• Git
• (Preferably) Latest version of Firefox/Google Chrome

Commands:

npm install -g http-server
git clone https://github.com/ritchielrez/typescript-html-canvas
cd typescript-html-canvas
npm install
npm run build
http-server -p 8080

Then open up your browser and go to localhost:8080 to playtest the game 😃

Thanks to:

• MDN Docs: 2D Breakout game development tutorial
• Tsoding and ThePrimeagen: for making me interested in a programming language which I had previously no incentive to learn 🙂
