Snoopy Game / 2D Game Engine

https://snoopy-team.github.io/public/

The Story

I was working with 2 friends on a final project for my Artificial Intelligence class - our idea was to build an AI powered Snoopy game (from Charlie Brown). I took the responsibility to make the game's front-end but hadn't used any game engines, so I set out to do everything from scratch. What resulted after 2 weeks was a basic 2D game engine. See the clips below!

Quick Clips

Simulation of 2D bodies (Snoopy!)

close.call.mov

Cut between virtual cameras (each can have a different zoom and centering)

large.scale.zoom.to.cut.mov

Debug camera gives you the ability to zoom and pan

long.pan.and.zoom.mov

Shake Effect - cameras can have time-based effects (like a basic version of shaders)

shake.mov

Switch between each camera by pressing 'c'

switching.cameras.mov

Installation & Setup

Run npm install to install all necessary packages. Then run npm build to build the JS files. Now you should be able to open ./public/index.html in your browser. Alternatively, you can run npm watch to automatically re-build when you modify any of the project Typescript files.

Run tests with the command npm test.
