Greetings! Tempest (in ClojureScript) has come a long way in the last couple of weeks. A playable demo is now up:
Play Tempest-cljs <http://mrmekon.github.com/tempest-cljs/level1.html> Best results with Chrome. Left and Right to move, spacebar shoots. It's legitimately playable now, though there's not much polish to it yet. Only one kind of enemy so far, flippers, but they're functionally complete. You can get shot or captured, which restarts the current level, or you can kill all of the enemies and move forward a level. There are 7 levels right now, and if you beat the 7th, you are greeted with a friendly black screen. -Trevor On Thursday, March 22, 2012 8:14:25 PM UTC-4, Trevor Bentley wrote: > > I'm teaching myself Clojure/ClojureScript/HTML5 via an excessively complex > first project: a clone of the arcade game Tempest.
