Spacewar! was one of the earliest video games ever made. Although it was originally implemented on the PDP-1, many of us grew up playing a more recent implementation in DOS. This repo is a hobby code project to make a similar game using the JavaScript framework matter-js.
It is currently a two-player game. I'm not sure how I'd implemented an AI yet.
