Apologies if I am starting too many topics related to this. Admin’s let me know if I should contain it to a single thread.
The first playable version of SpacePewPew is up at https://spacepewpew.lamdera.app/
Multiplayer on the same screen, resolved in browser, only two ship types, only one planet, janky keyboard controls.
The eventual ambition with this game is to have
Many more ship and weapon types
ELO based matchmaking
Real time game state managed directly inside Lamdera for all games
Graphics via WebGL|
One day hopefully we can have the Elm community play several hundred games simultaneously to show off Lamdera and Elm on the backend.
Folks, you all rock!
Thanks to some feedback from Logan Brutsche and @MartinS about the key system, the game has now been improved SIGNIFICANTLY in how the ships handle.
There are now:
Health bars (crew counts) per ship.
Better key controls.
Two different types of ships, with two completely different propulsion systems.
