Grandstand's 80s tabletop classic revisited

Built for (and to test) my EccentricEngine JS game engine

To get started, either clone the EccentricEngine repo OR install it from the npm package registry by running npm -i eccentric-engine

If you chose to clone the EccentricEngine repo instead of installing from npm, you'll need to make sure to comment out all the import { Something } from 'eccentric-engine/Engine'; statements (run a global search in your editor for from 'eccentric-engine/Engine') and change the relative path statements to match your local directory structure, e.g. import { Something } from '../your/path/to/EccentricEngine/src/engine/engine';

Instructions

• Space: Start
• Left/Right Arrow keys: Should be obvs, but just in case... move left and right
• Enter: Fire

Play a dev build here Warning: there will be bugs. Should work fine on desktop versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari (needs a keyboard, see).
