ux: Components that handle gameplay and rendering such as Canvas.types: Basic data types such as Position, Speed, Direction, and GameKey.
objects: Objects used within the game, such as the Snake or a Coin.The contents of src are the main entry file game.ts along with three folders for objects, types, and ux, which correspond to these key concepts: Within the project root also is the index.html file for serving the game as a static app (which has been done here) and a css folder for CSS3 styles. Within tsconfig.json there are instructions for the compiler to output files as ES6 modules and place them in the build directory for loading in the browser. The package.json file in this project is more or less for reference, as there really are no dependencies or anything else going on. The entire project is open-source and available here, so if you feel like it, grab a copy and have fun experimenting with it and seeing what you come up with. This made it a great choice for quickly prototyping a custom game engine from scratch, where I wanted flawless performance and virtually bug-free behavior (we always want bug-free software, but in this case I got to build the entire game from scratch using the tools of my choice, so I actually got it).
I chose TypeScript because I had built several UIs and UI frameworks with it by that time, many of them modeled closely after my experience with C# and WPF. I also learned basic programming around this time, so naturally it wasn’t long before I started to create my own simple games.īack in 2015, I created this old-school snake game in TypeScript, to test out the graphical features of the canvas object in HTML5, and to get a feel for how it could be used to re-create classic 2D games from the ground up. If there’s one thing that left a huge impression on me growing up, it was the cool games of the 80’s and 90’s that were incredibly simple but also really fun to play. And as far as losing guards go, the brief moment before guards appear on the next screen (after an alert) should have been the hint: don't keep running away instead, find the nearest obstacle and hide behind/under it.Screen capture of a retro snake game made with HTML5 Canvas and TypeScript Introduction All of its gameplay, story, and other features are either taken from or are derivatives of features of this game.īy the way, collectible items do reappear, but between sections rather than screens (the loading screen transitions). The game attributed to have really kicked off the stealth genre of gaming, Metal Gear Solid, is almost entirely a 3D remake of this. Gameplay is top-notch and the music by and large among the best in the series. Not laden with cut-scenes and dialog, yet enough to provide a good story. This game had been considered for the longest time to be the best in the series, despite the release of the MGS titles. Without patience, there's too much of the game you're missing out on that you'd really appreciate. On top of that, combining the ability to tell which direction enemies walk and memorizing patrol routes (the latter of which is widespread in Metal Gear) should have negated that issue. Sure, the radar doesn't indicate what direction the enemies face, but it's a huge step-up from the previous games. Much of your commentary seems to overlook the limitations and restrictions around the development of this game, the system it was designed for and the era of release. Honestly, you need to give this game a better chance.
