The Keep

A game done for the April 2017 Lisp Gamejam

Overview

Plug in your game controller and use the analog stick to control your character. Press a button to swing your sword. Hold down a button to keep swinging your sword in circles.

Keyboard controls (arrow keys, space, 'z') or gamepad.

Get the highest score you can without being killed!

As always I ran out of time to do the things I wanted. There's no loot. It sucks.

Runs best in Chrome

Setup

Install the latest version of infinitelives.utils. Clone the repo, go into the directory and issue lein install to install the jar into your local maven repo.

Do the same for infinitelives.pixi. Clone the repo, go into the directory and issue lein install to install the jar into your local maven repo.

To get an interactive development environment run:

lein figwheel

and open your browser at localhost:3449. This will auto compile and send all changes to the browser without the need to reload. After the compilation process is complete, you will get a Browser Connected REPL. An easy way to try it is:

(js/alert "Am I connected?")

and you should see an alert in the browser window.

To clean all compiled files:

lein clean

To create a production build run:

lein do clean, cljsbuild once min

And open your browser in resources/public/index.html. You will not get live reloading, nor a REPL.
