Spacewar! Chaos Cascade

I made this game for the Pirate Software’s 2020 Game Jam.

The game is based off of SPACEWAR! (1962). My goal was to keep the physics and gameplay mostly the same; however, I made it a
1-Player game, and added an interesting bullet mechanic, sounds, and particle effects.

I mostly took on this project as a way of motivating myself to learn javascript, html, and how to make a physics-driven game.

I went in with very low expectations, but this is probably one of the coolest things I’ve made in such a short time. Some of the things I’ve learned will probably change my programming toolkit and workflow forever.(Author’s Note, Oct 21, 2024: Yes is did!)
