Arcade Game Clone, Udacity FEND project [4/8]
Live version: https://ewastasiak.github.io/arcade-game/
How to Run and Play the Game
- Use Chrome or Firefox. Opera should be fine(-ish). Internet Explorer – bad idea.
- The game is ready to play as soon as the page loads. If you are using a downloaded version, unzip the file and run index.html.
- You can start moving around by using arrow keys:
move up: ↑ move down: ↓ move left: ← move right: → - Plot foreshadowing: you are a fragile ladybug on a green meadow. A very thirsty ladybug, at that.
- Ergo: you need to reach the nearby river and have a rejuvenating drink. ASAP.
- Unfortunately, a crystal clear body of water is not the only thing before your eyes. There's also a grim parade of ghostly Jims Morrisons.
- Yeah, you've read that correctly. Multiple Jims Morrisons.
- Your mission is quite clear by this point, right? Reach the tasty water. Don't get squashed in the process. You might try to repeat your success a few times. Ten times, for instance.
- I really like number 9.

A Fail and a Thank You
I don't always make notes. I often reference JavaScript, as it's the whole new world for me. I can't pinpoint whose file is the reference file I used when I got totally stuck, but I know the person is somewhere out there, on Slack. Too bad that Slack is so good at erasing all the tracks ;(
