Basic dummy stub for the arcade game

Demo version. Incomplete functionality.
Intended to be used on desktop & laptop. Limited mobile use.
Control Dangerous Dave in wacky space riding green glowing blob by means of:

  • [▲] [▼] [◄] [►] arrow keys for movement
  • [Spacebar] for laser shot
  • [F8] to turn on/off orbiting planets
  • [Enter] to become as cool as Duke Nukem

Features:

  • no heavy frameworks and dependencies, just pure JavaScript
  • compact size, less than 500Kb including graphics and audio
  • tiny core only 35Kb!
  • completely free, no license, do with it whatever you what


More stuff to come (why we have only 24h per day?).

GFX niceties

  • multitude of space backdrops
  • static stars [layer1], moving and rotating with transparency [layer2]
  • random blinking [layer3] and moving stars [layer4]
  • "raining" moving stars from top to bottom [layer5]

Todo plans

  • improve performance if it is possible

Done stuff

  • beta mobile [touch] support
  • add sounds to startup, actions and backdrop ambience
  • make Dave leave trace while moving
  • implement space bar fire
  • make Dave to turn around to the direction he is heading to
  • random starting location of blinking stars, they also should change their formation upon blinking

Technical details

Ultra low-budget i3-3220 from 2013 runs it quite decently, but i already see the limit of the configuration.
Turn off some orbiting planets to improve performance by a big margin.
