A fork of Gtibo's game on Codepen (https://codepen.io/Gthibaud/pen/ryQRYP).
This was a refactoring project. This version of the game is meant to work 100% like the original one.
- Clone the repo
- Issue
npm install - Start the app with
./node_modules/.bin/webpack
- The original game was vanilla Javascript. It was a single 1400 lines long JS file, written in French.
- This version consists of 18 JS files written in ES6 with Webpack. Needs NPM to work.
- This is a more heavy-weight version than the original one, but it's meant to be easier to understand and modify.
When I started this refactoring project last week, I hadn't written a game since I was 15. I had pretty much no understanding of the game loop concept. I had never worked with sprites, Webpack (nor with browserify and similar), ES6 classes and import/exports.
My goal with this project was to understand modern Javascript and to refactor this cool game.
I am at this point satisfied with the refactor.
A big thanks to Gtibo for the original game, it's a great idea and implementation. I hope you find my refactor interesting and/or useful. :)
From this point on I might go on and change some behavior and design, and add more levels to the game. Or not. :)
