Finally, one of these stories that didn't make me feel like an utterly talentless moron. This feels like what someone might be able to learn how to do in a week, but so often it seems like what you see here are 10 year olds writing real time ray tracing engines that use deep learning for some reason, and have source code that just happens to be a radiation hardened quine.
- wccrawford 8y agoIt seems his little brother understands how to properly scope a project while learning, and seems to have a decent handle on game mechanics design. I'm super impressed, despite (and because of?) how simple it looks.
- ams6110 8y agoFYI the code is visible with "view source." How old is your brother? Has he programmed before? The code doesn't look like what someone with no programming experience could do in a week (unless perhaps working from a similar example as a starting point).
- lovasoa 8y agoMy little brother is 15. He had programmed before, but only on his graphic display calculator.
- z3t4 8y agoRight click and view source is probably the best thing about the web. You can learn so much. The source code for this game is simple and straight forward. I find it hard to come up with any critique - it looks like it's written by a pro! I like that he use objects instead of "classes". The game should adopt to window resize and aspect ratio.
