#Little Platformer Copyright 2013 Robert Sikorski - See LICENSE.md for details.
A simple platformer written in JavaScript and HTML5.
This game is my second third entry in OneGameAMonth(1GAM). Compared to my first
game, this will be more complicated, but I have the advantage of having done something similar
to this before. Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with JavaScript or even HTML/CSS, but since
this project is just a basic version of what I'm doing for next month, that should still be
manageable.
The main goal for this project is to create a platformer with the following criteria:
- State Based Game
- Read and parse XML data for maps (Tiled maps)
- Use
graphics for maps, player, environment (monsters?)HTML5 canvas shapes for graphics - Use sound (only using ogg format for simplicity/compactness)
The goal of this game is really to create the classes and such that I need for the next game. I know there are existing systems out there for making platforming games that will be better written and more extensive than my own, but since the goal of this for me is to code, the more technical problems I'm solving, the better.
Download the files, upload them to a webserver, and navigate to (your webserver)/LittlePlatformer.html. You can't run the game directly from your computer (unless you use Firefox) which is why I recommend just uploading it somewhere.
Alternately, you can play the game from my own website - once the game is running, I will post a link here.
