jetpack-game

go-jetpack-game

A simple game to learn Go and Ebitengine (THIS APPLICATION IS IN AN EARLY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT)

Build for web

Execute with ./build_web.sh It would generate jetpackgame.wasm and wasm_exec.js inside build_web folder

Play in web browser

After building for web, use a web server like XAMPP or Live Server extension in VSCode ./build_web/index.html

Notes for web browser

• All resources are embedded into the wasm file. The browser must wait to load the entire wasm file. For that, the game can not have a preloading inside wasm.

Execute locally

Execute run.sh or go run . command

Execute the unit tests

Execute run_tests.sh or go test command

Next tasks

• Make pillars to the platforms
• When gameover/gamecomplete the player can press enter to restart
• Create a starting menu. The player must press ENTER key to start the game
• Make a preloading screen because now in web version it shows a blank screen
