Great Tower Defense Game on Canvas
- greattypo 16y agoIt even works on ipad! Level 52 and counting...
- zbanks 16y agoWow! I'm surprised by the framerate, I'm getting ~50 in Chrome. I really didn't think these sorts of speeds were possible using Canvas, especially when you're completely redrawing the screen each time. For what it's worth, I unminified the source (from frozendefense.compressed.js) and posted it as a github gist. It makes it easier to peruse. https://gist.github.com/665991 https://gist.github.com/665991
- wanderr 16y agoIn Firefox it always reported >40 fps, however I could see that it was dropping massive amounts of frames, to the point where creeps would be coming in the entrance and then be halfway across the screen.
- Roedou 16y agoPretty awesome for 1780 lines of code. Especially when 250 of them are just the maps.
- _delirium 16y agoHmm, the graphics part works smoothly for me, but it seems to be dropping input events. Attempting to upgrade a turret when there's a lot of action happening on screen requires clicking a bunch of times before it finally registers. (Chrome 9.0.572.0)
- marcamillion 16y agoI never thought I would ever see these words: Works best on Google Chrome or IE9 Beta Note: Emphasis is on IE9.
- BonoboBoner 16y agoAmazing performance. If it had a button to manually trigger the waves instead of sending them off automatically (allowing me to rethink things more), my afternoon would be gone now.
- metachris 16y agoVery nice game, but a little basic. Some enemies seem to behave differently (vulnerable to different weapons), although there is no indication with color or shape. A minor bug: Once you click on a unit to build, you can't change your mind and "unselect" it anymore, forcing you to build that even though clicking it could have been a mistake. Also it's a bit annoying that if you want to build the same unit type multiple times, you have to click on it every time again. Keyboard shortcuts 1-4 to select each unit to build would be great. Another shortcut for upgrading and selling, and the game would be a lot more usable and fun to play. Still, quite addicting game! :-)
- vasi 16y agoRight-clicking seems to unselect a build order.
- jonafato 16y agoThe targeting seems off. I expected the towers to attack the enemies furthest along the path, but it seems like they might be attacking enemies closest to them.
- teddytruong7 16y agothis is awesome
- mdwrigh2 16y agoThis was incredibly well done, but it appears that the webhosting account was just suspended.
- quellhorst 16y agoYeah, just had that happen to me too, after I got to level 46.
- vog 16y agoAfter playing around a bit, I suddenly got an error message: "This Account Has Been Suspended" Is this a bug, or some kind of procrastination prevention?
- kingkilr 16y agoI think their webhost suspended them :(
- elliottcarlson 16y agoPretty cool - could definitely use some more work - but still well done. (Got a copy of the html from Google cache, and the javascript from the Gist posted in this thread.)
