A game about a ball and a cup.
Bit Pong is a casual game where you only have one goal: put the ball in the cup. Start by dragging the ball and letting it go and adapt to the progressively surreal levels!
Play the web version on itch.io or on gh-pages.
In development.
Bit Pong is written in TypeScript, using the Phaser game engine, and Matter.js for the physics part. parcel is used for bundling it all together. The game is built with mobile in mind, although it is primarily a web application. cordova is used for the conversion to a mobile app (using WebView).
After you clone the repo, on the root directory just run:
$ yarn
Run:
$ yarn start
parcel will automatically open the game in your default browser, running on your local Node.js server.
If you want to deploy under your own GitHub page, you can do that with:
$ yarn deploy
If your repo is setup to support gh-pages, then you should be able to access the game at https://<username>.github.io/<repo-name>. For this repo, the game is also available at https://stathismor.github.io/bit-pong/.
You can read about the game architecture here.
Unfortunately, Matter.js has an issue where its engine update is not refresh-rate-dependent. Since Phaser caps on the refresh rate of the screen, rendering and physics updates can be out of sync. This is happening on screens with refresh rate higher than 60Hz, and can cause a slowdown effect, with the ball not going towards the projected trajectory.
