Envy My Simplex

A WebGL shooter game based on code from NVMyCar. Final project of Yale University CPSC 478 (Computer Graphics)

By David Yao, source code at Github

Description

Concept of game

In the game, the target moves from a column top to another and shrinks and disappears when it reaches the last column of its route. There is also a character who can shoot a simplex from its arm. The goal is to hit the target with the simplex before it disappears.

The blinking simplex bullet is unique and hence only refills itself for the character when the previously shot bullet goes out of the game field without hitting the target.

There are various view modes (6 of them) available.
