I re-created the 1979 Atari game, Asteroids, with JavaScript
July 11, 2022 in Geodev
After spending the last few months with Python and Django, I thought of a project to help sharpen my JavaScript skills. I found this Youtube Tutorial where you re-create Asteroids in 2 hours and 45 mins. After completing the tutorial, the whole app becomes a single HTML file with a <script> that is about ~1000K lines long.
I wanted the application to be more modular, so I split it into 10 files in this PR. I think it looks and reads A LOT better. Instead of the code being one long file, I have separated out logic such as collisions, scoring, and sound effects. This way, adding new features will be much easier, and it's less of a maintenance nightmare.
My goal for the project is to make it into a game for GIS nerds like me. You'll be able to upload your geospatial data and play the game with YOUR polygons.
Stay tuned for more updates. If you want to log a bug/enhancements, check out GeoAsteroid's Github repo.
