Chaos Theory Flash Game

• There's a Flash game I like but Flash won't be supported past Dec-2020
• I wrote a cut-down version with HTML5 at https://chaos-theory-flash.kkwoo.repl.co/
• There were a few challenges
• Getting started
• Learning the following from scratch
• HTML5
• CSS
• JS
• Suitable libraries
• At first I went with phaser and other game libraries
• I departed from game libraries because they were suited to platform games and other traditional games involving a protagonist player and enemies 
• So I chose Pixi.js
  
• Pixi.js
• GSAP
• Limited concentration time
• This led to increased planning
• Resulted in several minimum viable products
• Learning pixi.js
• Get the quickstart working
• Get shape sprites working
• Get containers working
• Get collision detection working
• Copy/paste spicyoghurt code
• Get tweening working
• GSAP piece
• Construct game logic
• Something to play the game once
• Add a main screen
• Add a link to start a new game
• I did this only because I'm tired of hitting reload on the browser and wasting mobile data
• Next steps are
• make it more like the original
• Cool comments/insults based on scoring
• 3 rounds instead of 1
• refactor the code because it's terrible design
• However, I'm content with the game as it now stands
