Bottle Royale

A survival action game made for Ludum Dare 54 (theme: "Limited Space").

You are an insect stuck in a bottle and you have to fight for your survival.

The official repository is at dev.nales.org.

Launching the game on your computer locally

If you want to launch the game on your computer, launch the run command:

./run

You will need to go to the link displayed (usually http://0.0.0.0:8000/). The script uses Python 3. If you do not have Python 3, find another way to launch the game in a web server. This step is necessary because web browsers will prevent web pages to load local data for security reasons.

The game was developed on Linux. The script should work fine on Linux, BSD and MacOS systems. If you have another operating system such as Windows or Haiku, good luck I guess?

On the code

I wanted to go back to my roots and write the game in a procedural and imperative way: global methods take objects and work with them. No methods are really bound to a specific object.

If you want to learn "good" and "modern" JavaScript development, this is not the right place. Overall I am happy with my way to work: it makes refactoring easier no methods share the same name in the source code.

But gosh I hate non-statically typed languages! They are a pain to deal with when it comes to refactoring the code!

On the variable types used in the code, except specified otherwise:

• all time is in seconds;
• all speeds are by seconds;
• all angles are in degrees.
