Show HN: A remake of my 2004 PDA video game My background project for the last two years has been re-implementing my 2004 C++ shoot'em up game in TypeScript + WebGL, and it's finally done (just in time for the 20th anniversary!) Play the game online: https://ift.tt/Qzj3t8N Technical article about the remake: https://ift.tt/OYgMh6v I have tested Firefox, Chrome and Edge on desktop and mobile (no access to a device capable of running Safari). It's amazing how much difference 20 years makes: the hardware is so much more powerful, the web as a deployment platform is so much easier than side-loading onto a PDA through a serial cable or sharing .exe files through e-mail, and my experience as a professional developer makes almost everything so much easier... but at the same, it didn't feel that the language, editor or debugger (TypeScript on Visual Studio Code) were significantly better than good old Visual C++ 6. Repository with the code of the remake: https://ift.tt/hYfRv85 (sadly, I cannot provide the video and audio assets themselves under any open license). https://ift.tt/OYgMh6v December 31, 2024 at 04:25PM
