Santa’s Terror

Santa’s Terror is a mini horror game, where the player must help Santa Claus avoid obstacles and deliver all the gifts in time. However, things start to go wrong…

Inspiration

Santa’s Terror was inspired by the many FNAF minigames, as well as multiple platformer games.

Development

Santa’s Terror was developed using Javascript and HTML, and more specifically the Javascript library p5.js, which makes it much easier to develop. Additionally, we used the libraries p5.sound.js, p5.glitch.js, and seedRandom.js, which all helped us add the finer details to our game.

Challenges we ran into

When uploading, several of the image files didn’t work, due to the way that we were loading and initializing them. It took several hours to fix, however luckily we fixed it early on, and it didn’t end up having too much of an impact.

Additionally, when we attempted to add too many sound files and play them too frequently, the lag caused was unheavenly, and we ended up having to reduce the number of times each sound file was played.
