first ever 2D game (demo)

Inspiration

Initially, I was creating a google extension but I kept losing interest throughout the first 2 hours so I ended up changing my project to a 2D "fighting game" where game development is much more interesting to me.

What it does

I only have the initial code set up where I have movement of two rectangles (haven't added sprite images yet) and recently just finished an attack box with working collisions.

How we built it

I built it using JavaScript and html on VS code.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was using JavaScript for the first time. Especially working solo, I had to get a lot of help and research online. The game is far from finished but I still wanted to showcase basic movement that I learned using Java.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud of the attack box collision I got to work and register whenever it hit an enemy. I'm also proud that I was able to figure out almost perfect movement with two characters using your keyboard. This was my first time using another language other than Python.

What we learned

I learned basic game development with JavaScript and a lot of research and time goes into creating a project.

What's next for first ever 2D game (demo)

After getting the movement and collisions done, I want to add my background and change the rectangles into characters. Then go into better animation and create timers, health bars, character select. There's so much more to add!
