It's space invaders for the digital payments age!
This is essentially a space-invaders implementation utilizing CraftyJS that ended up teaching me quite a bit about Javascript, working on open-source projects and how to do unspeakable things using Middleman.
If you've missed the link, here it is again.
By all means, though there's no "building" per-se involved.
You're going to need a few things to get the project up and running:
All you have to do is clone the repo and run the following in the resulting folder:
bundle install
Once that's done, just run:
bundle exec middleman
and you should be able to reach the game by navigating to http://0.0.0.0:4567
(Your mileage my vary depending on your OS, but this should work even on Windows)
Here are the various tools I used to make Kred Invaders:
- CraftyJS - A snazzy component-based HTML5 game framework with an amazing group of maintainers and a great community.
- MiddleMan - Still my go-to solution for static websites.
- Aseprite - Cross-platform pixel editor that is simply a delight to use. Use it and be delighted.
- Bfxr - For all those bleeps and bloops.
